Last night at 1:30am EST, we received a surprise tip from faithful reader Chaucer. Chaucer will not reveal his true identity for obvious reasons, though he does want to make it known that this screenshot was leaked from Microsoft’s Canterbury campus.
Chaucer claims that Microsoft Office 2013 is primed for multi-platform distribution and is a complete re-write of the Office suite using Qt 4 and Vala. Use of Qt4 finally opens the door for Microsoft to create a unified experience for Mac, Windows and Linux. Qt4 applications are able to take on the appearance of any desktop’s widget-set, so not only can the experience be unified, it can also take on the target’s personality. Check out the screenshot below.
What have you done with old MS? I want it back. :-)
I guess releasing of the news @1:30am EST makes it April Fools news in Eastern and Midwest regions of the US. I am not sure if that applies equally well to Mountain and Pacific regions where Redmond is located.
So, is it or is it not April's Fools? And would the fools please let us know!
Did you guys read the email that was opened in Outlook? What about the references to Chaucer and the Canterbury Tales??
