Microsoft Office 14 ("Office 14" for short) is the working title for the next version of the Microsoft Office System productivity suite for Microsoft Windows. It entered development during 2006 while Microsoft was finishing work on Microsoft Office 12, which was released as the 2007 Microsoft Office System. The major version number 13 has been skipped presumably due to triskaidekaphobia. As of February 14, 2007, it is expected that Office 14 will ship in the first half of 2009 though this date has neither been confirmed nor denied by Microsoft.

Why did they skip Office 13? scared of the number 13?

Exactly that.

14 won't even appear on the Radar for at least 18 months, give them time. 2007 is still relatively new, and they're still making good money off it.

It will probably appear before that. I believe the current strategy is to RTM Office 14 around the same time they RTM Windows 7 so they can have a mega launch event for both products at the same time.

I think that nothing much is being said here on neowin, because the product isn't in beta yet.

For me Microsoft will have to do something amazing with Word and Powerpoint before I start caring.

Dude, not for another three years AT LEAST!

They should make an attempt to try and fix their current products first. Office 2008 for example

:laugh: Riiight. Actually I bet Office "14" will ship in about 12 to 18 months time.

Three years? LOL

Fix current office products? LOL

What's wrong with Office 2007?

It'll be interesting what they do for a UI in Office 14. Me personally I hate the Ribbon style. It's big and it's not easy to find what your looking for, especially for complex items, at first until you get a idea of where everything is. I personally like the compactness of menus and feel it's easier to find things in menus.

I know many people will disagree with this, but oh well..

Microsoft 13 was released in January for MAC, now Office 14 is rumored to be released in 2009 early 2010
Microsoft Tech Beta Support .... I work w/ some guys that deal w/ beta testers.. when they get information they tell me.

You might want to reconsider that source.

An update for Office 2008 just came out, v12.0.1.

Hence, Office 2008 is v12, exactly the same as Office 2007, only it's on the mac.

There is no Office 13 for both Windows and Mac as Microsoft skipped it for superstitious reasons. I'm not really in a hurry for a new Office as the current one is the best one there is. It will be pretty hard for Microsoft to top it but I'm confident with the Office team that they'll be able to do it.

      Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.

      The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
