Office 2007 Delayed Again

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the clippy's-triumphant-return dept.

Tyler Too writes "Ars Technica reports that Microsoft Office 2007 has been delayed again, this time into early 2007. 'Based on internal testing and the beta 2 feedback around product performance, we are revising our development schedule to deliver the 2007 system release by the end of year 2006, with broad general availability in early 2007.' Tough bit of timing after this week's online preview of Office 2007."

    Or maybe they should quit putting a year in the name altogether: just call it Office: Vista, or Office 12.0 (too common?), or whatever. . .

    OpenOffice 2.0.3 got released today. :)
    It is multi-platform, open source and free.
    It supports the OpenDocument Format (ODF) standard which is an ISO standard.
    It is compatible with Microsoft Office.

    The problem with this is that "When it's done" will still include a truly awsome number of bugs.

    Hey guys, cut me some slack.
    My post has the same timestamp as the other guy with the same idea (2:58) and he didn't get modded down.
    Shucks.
