Are you ready for SharePoint 15?

On 12-May-2010 (exactly 2 years back) Microsoft released SharePoint 2010. It created lot of hype in the CMS world.

Do you think it met with expectation and adoption rate?

Now, we started talking about SharePoint 15. As per the leaked Microsoft Roadmap, release of SharePoint 15 is around the corner.

Are you ready for SharePoint 15?

Based on my interaction with multiple clients, I understand that there are many companies yet to migrate to SharePoint 2010. They are still validating whether SharePoint 2010 is the right platform investment to move from MOSS 2007 (SharePoint 2007). I am not sure whether it is a good idea to release new product when it is in early stages of adoption.

I would like to hear your thoughts on this.
