What is next for PowerPoint after 2003?

Will the next version of PowerPoint be only server based as part of Office
Live? Is there going to be such a thing as PowerPoint 2006? Will upgrades be
available from PowerPoint 2000, XP and 2003?

Thanks

According to what I read here,

http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/default.mspx

PowerPoint will be part of Office 12, or whatever the final name is. In
fact here is a screen shot of it.

Yesa ton of new capability has been added so that it can talk to your companiesservers but like many features in Office you aren't required to use them.Austin MyersMS PowerPoint MVP TeamPowerPoint Video and PowerPoint Sound Solutions www.pfcmedia.com"Doctor Jay" <Doctor [email protected]> wrote in messageWill the next version of PowerPoint be only server based as part of Office> Live?

In general, sometime next year. News reports say the beta-1 will be out in
a few weeks.
