Microsoft planning an app store for next version of Office (2013?)

As we continue hurtling headlong into the Golden Age of App Stores, a job posting from Microsoft hints that there's at least one more around the corner. Yes, Office 15 (probably due in 2013) could very well be getting a dedicated app store.

It all starts with a job posting from Microsoft, which states that it's looking for a marketer to head up its Office Managed group. Nestled in among the job responsibilities is the following: "You will drive the innovation agenda that excites our partners in areas like 'Office App Store'."

Previous rumblings about a Windows 8 app store began a while back, so it's not really a surprise that Microsoft would want to offer a similar complement to a future version of its flagship application suite.
