The long-touted Microsoft Vista/Office 2007 tandem launch is on for the last week in November in New York, sources said. This event will focus on business usage and scenarios. The new client Windows operating system and Office client and server applications have been promised for volume business customers by year's end and for consumers by early 2007. Jeff Raikes, president of the Microsoft Business Division, would not comment on a specific launch timing or venue but said the company remains on track for the two promised delivery windows. He applied the usual caveat: Microsoft will not ship the code if it's not ready.

"and we'll continue to hear people like you complain tirelessly. Or is it just the usual OSS fundies trolling? 
"
Not complaining. I don't use Windows or Office (I guess that does make me an OSS troll,) so I don't care. I just find it incredulous that people are willing to spend so much money, and perform otherwise unnecessary hardware upgrades, just to get an OS that's essentially XP in new clothes (and off its diet) and an office suite that adds features that most people won't ever use! Ask most people what they use Office for, and you'll find that most haven't even scratched the surface of the available feature set. I guess those with the mindset of "keeping up with the Joneses" will be in all their glory on release day, regardless of common sense which says to let these two pass.
