Death of Infopath Forms

Infopath forms has been both blessing and pain at the same time since SharePoint 2007. With the growth of new web technologies, we always wonder is there a place for infopath forms in SharePoint universe. The inherent limitations and clumsiness of infopath forms has finally come to an end. Yesterday the office team has clearly elaborated on the course of infopath form going forward.

InfoPath, though a useful tool for customization on SharePoint it always lacked functionality which prevented it becoming mainstream. So the verdict is finally out and it is death of infopath forms and there will not be any future releases of infopath forms beyond 2013.

Let us hope that Microsoft comes up with really cool forms interface and development environment soon.

Happy coding and RIP Infopath we will definitely miss you if not a lot may be little.

PS. is there any acquisition by Microsoft (K2 or Nintex).
