"While we haven’t shared a launch for the next release of Office for Mac, we typically ship a new version of Office every two to three years", the company said in a FAQ about the new office suite.
Office 2008 launched in January 2008, meaning a 2011 launch is a strong possibility.
The new software promises to bring a number of new features to the office suite including web apps, so you'll be able to work on- or off-line. There'll be full collaboration and co-authoring functionality too, as well as a whole host of new features including the ability to "ignore" unwanted message threads in Outlook.
