Microsoft says it will launch the next version of its Office programs, code-named ‘Office 12′, in the second half of 2006 to coincide with the release of Longhorn, its next Windows version:

Jeff Raikes, the senior vice president in charge of the Office division at Microsoft, said that the trial, or beta, version of Office 12 would be ready by the end of this year, followed by the full launch next year.

Microsoft is betting that its next releases of Windows, code-named Longhorn and Office will drive a new wave of personal computer upgrades.
