Not true

Microsoft???s business unit (Office) had operating income of $3.3 billion on revenue of $4.95 billion. In the same quarter a year ago, the business unit had operating income of $2.7 billion on revenue of $4.1 billion. That performance reinforces what Microsoft execs have been saying: Office 2007 is a juggernaut.


I read right HERE in ZDNet talkbacks that Office 2007 was an absolute DOG in sales (not "will be", but WAS) and the next earnings would reflect the horrible product that it is.

I would tend to believe my trustworthy netizens more than some paid MS shill that reads off an MS-authored transcript. They're trying to pull a fast one on us to make us believe that Office 2007 sales are actually skyrocketing! As if! Due to the poor design of Office 2007, these numbers are impossible. (I've never even HEARD of this guy, anyway!)
