Office Newswire: Microsoft, burn the boats already!
Ty Anderson | February 14th, 2013
Microsoft find themselves in an entirely new and foreign landscape. The successes of their past will not help them here. The demands are new. The language is different.

Office Newswire: Microsoft Office 2013 will not be free
Ty Anderson | January 23rd, 2013
It's eerie, the quiet. Office 2013 went RTM something like three years ago. It feels that way to me at least. Not much new is going on (publicly at least) except for the blog posts from the various Office teams. It's all quiet here on the Western front... Read the rest of this entry →
Office Newswire: A new year. A new Microsoft?
Ty Anderson | January 8th, 2013
A new year, a new Microsoft roadmap. Here is some palace intrigue. The editorial is based on an old/stale PowerPoint slide but that doesn’t prevent it from being interesting. If it can be trusted, looks like the Office 16 is planned for 2015...

Ty Anderson | November 28th, 2012
Because Microsoft has thrust upon us new version of Windows and Office, there is a lot of prognosticating by those who make a living prognosticating.

Ty Anderson | November 15th, 2012
I appreciate lots of things about life. I’ll skip the normal stuff of family and friends… they’re a given. I’ll also skip fine wine, scotch, and a good steak. They are great and are best enjoyed with friends. But they are not germane to this post. Something that is germane and has to do with enjoying life is... Read the rest of this entry →
Office Newswire: Why is Office 365 more important than Windows 8?
Ty Anderson | November 7th, 2012

Office 365 Newswire: Is On-Premises software a thing of the past?
Ty Anderson | September 21st, 2012
“Your eyes our bigger than your stomach”. – Any Parent My parents told me this all the time. I would load my plate full of food at dinner only to achieve a full tummy before I could eat it all (I still, miraculously, had room for dessert). This tendency still afflicts me only not so […]...

Ty Anderson | July 30th, 2012

Office 365 Newswire: Office 365 and Microsoft Surface Tablets – 6.22.2012
Ty Anderson | June 22nd, 2012
Can Office 365 and Surface Tablets become Microsoft's Killer Combo? Yep, I think so. As I stated on Wednesday. All of a sudden Windows 8 makes sense to me. I think Office 365 will be a big player too. The Surface tablet doesn't exactly have a large hard drive. The Office web apps all-of-a-sudden are more compelling.... Read the rest of this entry →

Office 365 Newswire: Microsoft Office 365 vs. Google Apps For Government – 6.8.2012
Ty Anderson | June 8th, 2012
If I understand what I read, Exchange 15 features are running in Office 365, "if it makes sense". Sounds like an interesting concept... Office 365 as a testing / proving ground for the on-premise release. I think this strategy makes anyone using Office 365 a guinea pig... Read the rest of this entry →
