Microsoft: We're adding 20,000 new SharePoint users a day

SharePoint 15 — the next version of SharePoint that will hit around the time Office 15 does (estimated to be in 2013, at this point) — is in the midst of development. I wouldn’t be surprised if we got a sneak peek, if not a very early test build, of the next SharePoint in this calendar year, too.
