Microsoft delays Office 2007 release

Following up another delay for Vista, Microsoft will also be pushing back the impending release of Office 2007. Although development is still scheduled to finish this year, and media may be made available to those on Microsoft's volume-license program (such as Microsoft Certified Partners and large OEMs), for the rest of the world it'll be Jan 07 before they can get it. This makes sense, with Office 2007 being designed to work with and on Vista, so releasing the Office portion first would be bad for business. Public testing of Office 2007 is going to begin again in a few months, and only time will tell if whether or not the Jan 07 deadline can be met.

  1. None of this is a surprise at all, neither the Vista delay or this.
