Microsoft developer Maarten Visser has leaked a roadmap for the company's software that covers the next two year's of releases.
Visser is the CEO of Meetroo, a cloud developer consultantcy.
The images show launch dates for Office 15, updates to Windows Phone and Internet Explorer 10.
Microsoft confirmed the images and responded: "We often provide forward-looking information to our partners and customers under our confidentially agreements with them. This information contains our best estimates and is, in no way, final or definitive."
Visser, a day after the tweets, released a YouTube video explaining why he "leaked" the pics, saying he did not do so with malicious intent: "I love Microsoft and the products they are producing. I have been evangelizing SharePoint since Microsoft produced the first beta in early 2000. For this reason I really hope my actions won't bring any damage to the company I love and might even have some positive effects to the partner eco-model (especially smaller ISV's who are betting their whole lives Microsoft add-ons.)"
