Office Delayed, Too 463
turnitover writes "And you thought calling it 'Office 2007' was just to make it seem all future-like -- but according to eWEEK.com's Mary Jo Foley, turns out calling it is truth in advertising: Office 2007 won't ship until 2007. What does this mean for Microsoft and its reputation as a company that can eventually ship software? What will this mean for office managers who have to plan upgrades and budgets? Will this make anyone look at OpenOffice.org?"

Always tell the truth. It doesn't have to be the whole truth, but it is important that what you say be 100% verifiable.

You could always use the "meeting" system, using the "talking" communications protocol. Suppliment this by the "go over and chat" concept using "voice over voice" chat.

OpenOffice has REALLY come a long way to catch up with Microsoft products features!

Who makes the decisions on whether to pay more for Microsoft Office instead of Sun StarOffice (the commercial version of OOo)? And what kind of collaboration on documents do you need that a wiki and an IRC channel cannot provide?
