Well there are a some rumors dealing with Office 14 and SharePoint 2009 coming in autumn 2009. One of the most interesting articles is the one by Edin Kapic: SharePoint 2009 / 2010 / vNext Rumours. I would love to see some of the features he mentions in his article:
- Native AJAX and Silverlight support
- More offline capabilities
- Microsoft Office files HTML viewers (following the line of OWA and EWA)
- Bi-directional BDC
- Native support for SQL Server tables as SharePoint lists
- Publishing module rewritten, to change the faulty Export / Import process
- More Business Intelligence capabilities for MOSS, as PerformancePoint 2007 matures
- Social networking improvements, maybe with Knowledge Management module included out-of-the-box
Can't wait until the release of a beta version... ;)
