[News] Open Source Interoperability Delays Office, Vista?

Office 2007 and Vista delayed due to open source interoperability?

,----[ Quote ]
| But let's review the facts again. On July 3, the Redmond giant announced
| that Office 2007 will not ship in January 2007, but in "early 2007." For
| the large public of course. For the corporate customers, they say Office
| 2007 will be available "by the end of 2006", after they had previously
| mentioned November 2006 as a certain date. This year, Office 2007 was
| destined to make its public debut in March. Company officials decided
| instead that it was better to ship it with Vista, so they pushed it all
| the way back to Januay 2007, the (still...) official release date for
| the famous OS.
| 
| As reasons for the delay Microsoft cited "performance issues", that
| almost every developer noticed after the Beta 2 testing session openeda
| t WinHEC, in May. Analysts at Citigroup on Thursday said they expected
| a further delay for the Vista operating system too, and that Office's
| delay is just the signal.
