Microsoft announced that Office 2007 will be delayed and that the new target date for general availability will be early 2007 instead of October 2006. Microsoft cited beta testers and internal testing that showed they have some work left to do. I agree with Microsoft. I would rather wait a few more months and get a good, quality product than to have something slipshod in my hands today. If I want poor quality I can switch over to the beta right now. I remember WordPerfect 6.0 for Windows. When it came out it was slooooow, buggy, and didn't seem to have a really professional feel to it. It was in part due to the many problems that we experienced that my company switched over to Word. That was the last time that I really used WordPerfect. I am sure that Microsoft wants to avoid pushing a lot of customers over to OpenOffice or some other alternative.
