Office 15 images show off "Moorea" and more

[jamescv7]

Windows 8 is not the only upcoming Microsoft product to borrow design elements from Windows Phone’s graphical user interface, dubbed Metro.

The next generation of the software giant’s other cash cow, Office, will also introduce an overhauled Metro-inspired GUI.

The successor of Office 2007 is codenamed Office 15, despite the fact that it’s the 14th iteration of the productivity suite.

Although the Redmond company has started work on Office 15 for a while now, it has yet to share any details with the public, just as it is the case with Windows 8.

RE: Office 15 images show off "Moorea" and more

Microsoft Office is a product that millions use everyday. Office is by far the de facto product when it comes to productivity and Microsoft has dominated the market in this area for years. But not wanting to let the product go stale like it did with Internet Explorer 6, they are currently working on Office 15.

While not the first images of the new productivity suite to leak out, the latest leak does show off a new application that is code named "Moorea". The image above shows the first look at the new application. Mary-Jo Foley suggests that it may be bringing back elements of the Courier project that Microsoft canceled many months ago, but an update later on her post suggests that it may be related to Microsoft Office Labs Canvas for OneNote.
