Does anyone here have the answer to the following SharePoint 2013 related questions?

Any information on any of the above will be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 system requirements

Answer 2

If they did its not going to be posted here. Everyone is under an NDA on this type of information.

If I had to take a stab at guessing a beta release I would say October-November. Its usually right around the time of the SharePoint Conference. When 2010 beta was released it was November about a month after the conference. I have heard talks that GA would be around Spring. I do believe they are looking to release all of the Wave 15 product at about the same time.

Hardware requirements will probably be very close to what 2010 was.

Answer 3

Concerning release dates - There has been leaked roadmap of Office 15 (also know as Office 2013). See this article. I recommend following the blog of Mary-Jo Foley for news about new Microsoft products.

Answer 4

DigiOz,

I've been doing extensive research into what's known and rumored around SP2013. To answer your questions in order:

1. Nobody knows about hardware requirements.
2. I've posted a list of features from the protocol documentation here: http://blog.furuknap.net/sharepoint-server-2013-features
3. Although not official, a beta of both Office 15 and SharePoint 15 (codenamed as such) is expected in early June along with or around the time of the Release Preview of Windows 8.
4. SharePoint 2013 will be based on .NET 4.0 runtime.

Oh, and nothing of this is 'official'. It's purely speculation at this point, so treat it as such.

Answer 8

There are plenty of more pragmatic features. A new app store is the most likely feature to help tie in all those third-party products to help users create and buy packaged solutions. An educational module has been widely touted to help it access the huge learning sector. More:
