I don't care what features are new, it's too expensive to justify...

I posted on another blog about this on going "Gold", but what MS is missing is the cost to upgrade. CFO's who control the purse strings, don't see the reason to upgrade. Unless there is a significant ROI, they will flat out deny it. We're still trying to justify Office 2003 as a standard and they are refusing to give us funds to do it.

Now, our VAR says we have to pay $18 more to buy the 2007 verison and we have to downgrade it to 2003. jeesh, what sense does that make? Like my CFO will shell out another $50+K this year...yeah, I'll hold my breath and turn blue...as others said, the open office suite is looking better all the time..
