Microsoft Project 2005??

[Salilu]

Is the next version of Project going to be Project 2005? When is it going to
be available? Could not find any info on it on Microsoft's web site.

Microsoft is working on the next version of Office codenamed as Microsoft
Office "12" with completely new user inteface. Is Project going to be a part
of this release?

From all the publically available information it appears that:
Proj12 Beta 1 (private beta) is at the end of this year
Proj12 Beta 2 (public beta) is early next year.
Proj 12 Final release should be mid to late next year.
Project 12 should be released at nearly the same time as Office 12
It is part of the office family. That means it shares elements of Office 12
(GUI, infrastructure etc.) but it is usually sold separately from Office.

Considering it won't be released in 2005 I think you can safely say it won't
be called Project 2005.
