Microsoft Delaying Office Until 2007
June 29, 2006 |
Microsoft cites performance issues as a main reason for delaying Office 2007. I would have to agree with that. In testing the latest Beta version, 
it seemed sluggish and as if it was eating up more resources than Office 2003 did. That doesn’t
take away from the fact that I think this is going to be a stellar update, though. The ‘ribbon’ is a great improvement over the old menu system.
