In a recent article in Intranet Journal called "Sharing, Collaboration Highlight Office 2007," Troy Dreier outlines the impact that the major new Office release from Microsoft will have on intranets. As with the current Office version, the new one will come with Windows SharePoint Services, which according to Dreier will "finally make creating shared spaces online as easy as IT had always hoped." (Although some IT specialists argue that SharePoint makes it too easy now to create -- and abandon -- shared spaces.) Anyway, the article also includes 2 interesting screenshots, which show the major changes in the user interface. Forthcoming releases of the CMS Report and Enterprise Portal Report will include detailed vendor-neutral reviews of the new Microsoft Office SharePoint System (if you purchase either report now, you will receive a free update). Currently in public beta, the new Office 2007 with integrated SharePoint is expected in general availability towards the end of the year.
