Hold on ther Milly... Much has not been tested at all
Yes, I have been testing various betas of both products. However, for reasons unfathonable to me NO ONE outside of softies have been able to test the finished bits of both products together.

As of right now today, the most recent bits anyone outside of MS has seen do NOT work properly together. Visit the Office 07 developers site and you will see post after post after post of things that are broken in Office 07 running on Vista. In fact it got so bad MS STOPPED allowing new posts and closed the beta news groups down.

As a consultant there is NO WAY I could or would recommend that any of my clients (from the smallest to the largest) to make this move. In fact the exact opposite is true and I am actively telling them to hold off. And that is not something I have done since Win 3.1

I think if you ask anyone here they will tell you I give MS the benefit of doubt, perhaps more than I should, but as of right now there is nothing to grant them.

Having seen/heard some of the talk around the campus it is plain to see that top management dictated that these products would be released before the end of the year (gotta keep Wall Street happy) and by gawd that is what is going to happen, tested or not, ready or not, it will be released and it doesn't matter how many Vice Presidents are given their walking papers to do it! (You don't think Jim Alchin really wanted to be moved do you?)
