It's not surprising.

The increased cost of the premium Office doesn't provide much that corporations need. Also, as linked, Vista Home Basic is not viable either, so they must, if they go Vista, get the premium product.

I do think a clarification is needed.
He said Microsoft believes over 90 percent of businesses will have deployed Office 2007 as of summer 2009.

This must mean that 90% of businesses that use Office will have upgraded to Office 2007. Since ODF and OO/SO have 15% of the worldwide market, 90% of business is relative to that subset, not the world at large.

I would be surprised though to see Office 2007 penetration nearly that high. Why upgrade? 2003 is fine, heck many still use 1997.

Hmmm, does that 90% need to be further refined, to be 90% of those who licensed sharepoint have upgrade to 2007. That would make the most sense.
