Office 2007 Launch Delayed

[Uncle Bill]

Perhaps this is why it was called Office 2007 and not Office 2006!!
They knew it all along that demand/expectation for the product is very
low if none at all! Why should they release a product which no one
would buy?

Is there anything in Office 2007 which Office 2003 can't do? I doubt
very much apart from nice blue screens and fat price!

I thought last week was just the announcement on Vista.
Thanks anyway.

True.
Share Point Designer, I think is added as a replacement for FrontPage. Low
usage on that too.
