Microsoft is currently developing the successor to Office 2007, Office codenamed "14". There has been little to no information on the upcoming
Office version and many have speculated we might not see the product until 2010. Microsoft failed to provide any solid information at last years PDC,
choosing to focus on its Office Live offerings. Eagled eyed Microsoft enthusiast and blogger Stephen Chapman has spotted what appears to be an
internal software roadmap from Microsoft. The roadmap reveals a milestone of year end 2009 but the dates aren't very clear: In the roadmap you

to us are: FLASH (pictured below), a touchscreen-only device, RUSH2 and CALGARY with a QWERTY keyboard and INFERNO, a flip phone. The FLASH looks
sleek and sexy with a large touchscreen face and sharp angles on the edges, possibly competing against the iPhone. In the picture, the second button
on the phone seems to be a Windows logo creating speculation that this device will use Windows Mobile. As this device will be coming out in 2009, it

20.03.2009Upcoming Microsoft patches focus on media formats
Microsoft will issue seven security updates next Tuesday, including critical sets of patches for Windows and Internet Explorer. The three critical
updates are all for Windows components, Microsoft said in a note on the upcoming release. These components include Internet Explorer, the DirectX and
DirectShow graphics software, and the Windows Media Format Runtime, which is used by Windows Media Player.
The media flaws could be
quickly exploited by attackers, said Andrew Storms, director of security operations with nCircle Proactive Network Security. "With the Media
Format and the Direct X update, we're looking at more ways for attackers to target rich Internet multimedia formats," he said via instant
message. "The likelihood of getting someone to watch a tantalizing movie is much higher than opening an attachment."
