“While we haven’t shared a launch for the next release of Office for Mac, we typically ship a new version of Office every two to three years,” the company said in a FAQ about the new office suite.

Office 2008 launched in January 2008, meaning a 2011 launch is a strong possibility.

There’ll be full collaboration and co-authoring functionality, too, as well as a whole host of new features including the ability to “ignore” unwanted message threads in Outlook.
