Office 2007 go away, come again another day

Ars Technica reports that Microsoft Office 2007 has been delayed again, this time into early 2007. ‘Based on internal testing and the beta 2 feedback around product performance, we are revising our development schedule to deliver the 2007 system release by the end of year 2006, with broad general availability in early 2007.’ Tough bit of timing after this week’s online preview of Office 2007.

This is somewhat of a shock considering how stable the beta version is, arguably. Instead of pushing back dates, Microsoft should take a step in 3D Realms shoes and just label everything, “When it’s done”.
