Microsoft IE10, Office 15 Roadmap Leaks
We know that Microsoft will release a number of updates to existing products in the next twelve month period. From a new version of the Windows operating system to the next Internet Explorer installment to Office 15 and the online version Office 365. It gets blurry when it comes to actual dates. While it very likely that Internet Explorer 10 will be released before Windows 8 will be finished, we do not have official confirmation when that will be. The same goes for Office 15 which is said to be released in the first quarter of 2013.
A leaked roadmap seems to confirm much of what we already know about the upcoming releases. Even though it is an official roadmap, it needs to be noted that dates can change and that the suggested dates are not set in stone yet until official confirmed by Microsoft.
The roadmap dates back to December 2011, which means that it does not contain some information that are already public knowledge.
If you look at the Windows platform for instance, you will notice that it only lists the Windows 8 Developer Preview and the end of support date for Windows XP, but not the Consumer Preview, RTM release or final availability.
Regardless of that, it is possible to draw some conclusions from the roadmap. As far as the Windows platform goes, you will notice the middle of the year release of Internet Explorer 10. Internet Explorer 10, which ships with the Windows 8 operating system, needs to be released before the RTM of Windows 8 as Microsoft won't ship the operating system with a beta or release candidate browser. This suggests that IE10 might debut either when the Windows 8 release candidate gets released, or the RTM.
If you look at the Windows Phone timeline, you will also notice a new release at the end of the year. While it could be an update to Windows Phone 7, it is more likely that this is the planned release date for Windows Phone 8.
As far as Office 15 goes, you will notice a beta release in the second half of 2012, and a final availability of the operating system in the beginning of 2013.
Are you excited about any of the products mentioned in the roadmap? If so, let me know in the comments.

Are these articles AI generated?
Now the duplicates are more obvious.
This is below AI generated crap. It is copy of Microsoft Help website article without any relevant supporting text. Anyway you can find this information on many pages.
Yes, but why post the exact same article under a different title twice on the same day (19 march 2023), by two different writers?
1.) Excel Keyboard Shortcuts by Trevor Monteiro.
2.) 70+ Excel Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows by Priyanka Monteiro
Why oh why?
Yeah. Tell me more about “Priyanka Monteiro”. I’m dying to know. Indian-Portuguese bot ?
Probably they will announce that the taskbar will be placed at top, right or left, at your will.
Special event by they is a special crap for us.
If it’s Microsoft, don’t buy it.
Better brands at better prices elsewhere.
All new articles have zero count comments. :S
WTF? So, If I add one photo to 5 albums, will it count 5x on my storage?
It does not make any sense… on google photos, we can add photo to multiple albums, and it does not generate any additional space usage
I have O365 until end of this year, mostly for onedrive and probably will jump into google one
Photo storage must be kept free because customers chose gadgets just for photos and photos only.
What a nonsense. Does it mean that albums are de facto folders with copies of our pictures?
Sounds exactly like the poor coding Microsoft is known for in non-critical areas i.e. non Windows Core/Office Core.
I imagine a manager gave an employee the task to create the album feature with hardly any time so they just copied the folder feature with some cosmetic changes.
And now that they discovered what poor management results in do they go back and do the album feature properly?
Nope, just charge the customer twice.
Sounds like a go-getter that needs to be promoted for increasing sales and managing underlings “efficiently”, said the next layer of middle management.
When will those comments get fixed? Was every editor here replaced by AI and no one even works on this site?
Instead of a software company, Microsoft is now a fraud company.
For me this is proof that Microsoft has a back-door option into all accounts in their cloud.
quote “…… as the MSA key allowed the hacker group access to virtually any cloud account at Microsoft…..”
unquote
so this MSA key which is available to MS officers can give access to all accounts in MS cloud.This is the backdoor that MS has into the cloud accounts. Lucky I never got any relevant files of mine in their (MS) cloud.
>”Now You: what is your theory?”
That someone handed an employee a briefcase full of cash and the employee allowed them access to all their accounts and systems.
Anything that requires 5-10 different coincidences to happen is highly unlikely. Occam’s razor.
Good reason to never login to your precious machine with a Microsoft a/c a.k.a. as the cloud.
The GAFAM are always very careless about our software automatically sending to them telemetry and crash dumps in our backs. It’s a reminder not to send them anything when it’s possible to opt out, and not to opt in, considering what they may contain. And there is irony in this carelessness biting them back, even if in that case they show that they are much more cautious when it’s their own data that is at stake.
