Global Partner Conference hosted by Microsoft in Toronto last week, many partners expect news on the next significant event for Office 15 with the launch of the beta version to the user. However, in a speech at the Conference, Microsoft still does not even mention information pertaining to official Office 15 beta.

FPP is a method of providing Office 365 upfront and this is the first time Microsoft use the retail channels to sell more software application cloud.

In addition it also introduces Office Web Apps, a web-based versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote as part of versions of Office 2010.

And all these things seem to be going back in rollout Office 2013/Office 15 coming?
