Office 2010 License Company meeting, and on to M2.

We're headed into our second coding milestone for the next release of Office (v.14). The stuff we're building is really amazing, and I can't wait until I'll be able to talk with you all about it in detail. For now though, as we ramp up for our next coding milestone,Office 2010 License, I'm going to have my hands pretty full getting our final designs in place. The upshot is that my post frequency is going to slow a bit. Please keep the feedback rolling in, I love to hear how things are going with your 2007 adoption and I'll still be checking in regularly!Last Thursday, Sept 5,Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007, was the yearly Microsoft Company Meeting. This the great annual pilgrimage which sees me along with ~20K of my local MS brethren descend upon Safeco Field in Seattle to get a glimpse of the top-of-mind from our executive leadership. Between the jubilant cheers that arise from different sections of the stadium each time someone on stage named a product, the major thing that I took away from this year's meeting was that what Microsoft is and does is changing. I've attended the company meeting for most of 8 years that I've worked here,Windows 7 Pro, and I felt like this year's was really unique. The executive leadership fronted a very real, very clear, and to my mind very good message. I'm not the right guy and this is not the right venue to state Microsoft's mission or strategy,Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007, but I am absolutely the right guy to let you know that I am more excited now about Microsoft's future than I have been at any point during my time here. The next several years are going to be a very,Office 2010 Professional, very interesting time. <div
