Office 2007 is running late. Microsoft officials acknowledged on June 29 that the company will not meet the October 2006 business-availability target to which it committed in March of 2006. At that time, Microsoft officials said to expect retail availability of Office 2007 to be some time in January 2007, so as to coincide with the Vista launch. But on June 29, Microsoft revised its schedule. Now Microsoft is promising that Office 2007 will be available to volume licensees "by the end of year 2006", with retail availability in "early 2007". This does not stop MS from pondering about Vista's successor, though.

in addition, now for many of the early adopters to get vista "for free" they will have to sign up for the program Again... see Microsoft won't sell to corperate customers without SA anymore... once you're in the program you must purchase everything MS thru it.. the only way around it would be to by Retail, Boxed which is even more expensive (and wastful) on an enterprise level.

I say there is no reason to bring out Vista in January, wait until late July/Aug for the back to school sales.
Offer people that buy a computer from January-Aug without Vista on it a free upgrade.
Then just take their time getting this thing done right.
