2007

[BoB Brazie]

When will the new 2007 suites be available at retailers?

Thanks in advance. Bob.

There will be a huge launch effort later this month, beginning in larger
cities and then rolling out to the rest of the country, I think (like a
Major Motion Picture); see

You can reserve a copy at Amazon now, though: see

I believe the official date is actually 31 Jan - but it should be in the
stores and certainly available OEM on new computers prior to that.

....Which will probably be followed shortly by wails of horror as purchasers
find bugs, and much gnashing of teeth as the "fixes" and "updates" totally
destroy hours of work... How long before on here we read "*Don't* whatever
you do install Service Pack 1"? with a frequency exceeding even "Have you
tried disabling the Norton AV add-in?"

 

[Jay Freedman]

I think it's much more likely that you'll see "Don't try to use feature X
until you *have* installed Service Pack 1". And you're going to see a lot
more of "I can't find anything and I hate the Ribbon" -- but remember that
people who are satisfied almost never post, so you're seeing only one side
of the story.

True...

 

[Terry Farrell]

That's correct. We received an email from Microsoft (UK) this morning saying
that we are not permitted to 'pre-sell' OEM or retail packs or order any PCs
with OEM Vista/Office 2007 until 29th January unless we are ordering from an
area that cannot receive guaranteed overnight delivery. (So we sinned
already.)

So are you a dealer in the UK then Terry? I have a reason for asking this
to do with another product.

[Terry Farrell]

Well sort of - but we are really an IT support company and only deal with
our own customers. See us at www.tmcs.co.uk.
