Microsoft’s 2006 Tidal Wave

There are a huge number of new Microsoft products coming out next year. I’ve been very focused on Office 12 and related products, but there are also thousands of people around here working on other products I don’t even know about. Oh yeah, and there’s Vista too (the next version of Windows).

Here’s a good preview of what’s coming, from a link on Scoble’s blog today. I’m pretty sure this will be the most lines of code a company has ever shipped in a year.

For those who spend their time trying to make the point that Microsoft has become irrelevant to the future of computing, I expect 2006 will be as unsatisfying as any of the last 20 years were. But no matter how dead the horse, the beatings continue.

  1. What do I click to get pictures? I tried the icon of you with the camera but that doesn’t work.

  2. Hmm, so much for my ability to explain myself.

    The icon of me with the camera just tells you that there are pictures somewhere in that particular post. So that you can tell which ones have pictures, and which ones don’t.

    But you’d still have to read the message and find the links to the pictures. I’ll post some pictures this weekend for us both to practice on. :-)
