Office Delayed, Too

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the not-quite-ready dept.

turnitover writes "And you thought calling it 'Office 2007' was just to make it seem all future-like -- but according to eWEEK.com's Mary Jo Foley, turns out calling it is truth in advertising: Office 2007 won't ship until 2007. What does this mean for Microsoft and its reputation as a company that can eventually ship software? What will this mean for office managers who have to plan upgrades and budgets? Will this make anyone look at OpenOffice.org?"

    LOL. Is that a joke? Even the current version of Office is a lot more powerful than OpenOffice. No, Office 2007 being delayed is NOT going to make anyone turn to openoffice.org. It's a nice product for the average user, but its not a serious competitor by any stretch of the imagination.

    lol.
