Checkout http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/ where the SharePoint team are sharing the thought process behind the goals of the next release of SharePoint technologies.
For the Office 12 wave, we are investing on top of the WSS platform in six solution areas:
Collaboration ... richer calendars, surveys, discussions and e-mail integration, blogs, wikis, RSS, offline (in Outlook and Groove), basic project management (with Project Server for larger projects), tracking applications (including Access integration), etc.
Portal ... published portals built on the new MCMS integration, declarative LOB integration from web services, database and 3rd-party applications like SAP and enhanced MySites with aggregation, personalization and social networking
Search ... improved user experience, relevance, administration and programmability and rich support for finding people and business data with a consistent experience across WSS and SPS.
Business Process ... server-based XML forms designed with InfoPath and rendered in either web browsers or the rich InfoPath client integrated with SharePoint including the new workflow capabilities with web, graphical and Visual Studio-based customization
Business Intelligence ... business intelligence portals with dashboards, KPIs, SQL Analysis Reporting Services integration and Excel capabilities on the server combining the flexibility of the spreadsheet with the power of server-based deployment and rendering
Content Management ... integrated document, records and web content management including workflow, metadata, security, policies, template publishing, etc. and upgrade from MCMS 2002 to an integrated SPS / MCMS (more - Arpan).
It was a year ago I discussed competitors spreading FUD and CMS vNext ... why so quiet ? We can now see how content management is an important component in Office 12 and so why it was never appropriate to talk about the plans for Microsoft Content Management in isolation. So hopefully no more FUD!!
