Leemos en el sitio Windows 8 Beta que de acuerdo a un ofrecimiento de empleo por parte de Microsoft, parece que Office 2014 (V. 15) tendrá su propia tienda de aplicaciones.

Así lo hacen saber en la siguiente oferta de empleo en donde nombran la Office App Store, como bien pueden ver a continuación:

A key output includes an end-to-end business plan that informs Office Engineering and drives our business forward.
