Microsoft says it will be forced to delay Office 2008 for Mac, the next version of its productivity suite for Apple Inc. computers, until early next year. The company had been planning to release the product this year. But a recent development review showed that "the quality just wasn't where we wanted it to be," said Craig Eisler, who became general manager of Microsoft's Mac Business Unit in June.

"And how do you explain Tiger being at service pack #11?"
You have a point, but surely the number of service packs isn't a quantification of software quality - all software have issues, and the number of service packs released is just a result of the company's policy for update frequency.

...when has poor quality ever stopped Microsoft from releasing a product? Apparently Steve Jobs and company demand better for Macintosh computers. If only consumers had the same power to demand such quality for PC's..or rather they exercise such power!
