Job ad suggests new Microsoft app store
A Microsoft job posting suggests that Office is the latest of Redmond's products that will get its own app store.
Already there are marketplaces for Zune, Xbox and Windows Mobile. Windows Phone 7 will have one and Microsoft is adding one to its CRM product. A leaked planning document suggests that Windows 8 may get one. Now a job posting for a product manager suggests that Office, too, may get an app store.
"As we launch Office 2010, we are beginning the process of planning for Office 15 and are looking for a product manager to drive Office 15 strategy for partners," according to the job listing, which was spotted by enthusiast site, Windows 8 beta. "You will drive the innovation agenda that excites our partners in areas like 'Office App Store'. This position will also be responsible for working across Microsoft with teams like Windows Phone, Windows 8 and Azure to ensure alignment with our business planning."
