Microsoft: Office 2007 to be late, too
This delay is nothing to get worked up about. You still have Office now so this delay is not going to hurt anyone. And much like Vista, the delay means that they are working on making a better product. Good quality code takes time to write and can't be rushed, and Microsoft realizes this hence the delay. Rome wasn't built in a day.
