After delaying Windows Vista launch to 2007, Microsoft has delayed the launch of the next version of Office to 2007. The action is to coincide with the debut of its Vista operating system. The 2007 package, which includes the Word processor, Excel spreadsheet, and PowerPoint presentation software, will be made available to business customers in October 2006, the world biggest software maker said.
“We think this strategy is appropriate as a way to create the maximum initial demand for both products, rather than trying to split marketing resources between two big launches separated by only a couple of months.”
