Microsoft's Office 2007 hits snag
Microsoft Corp. said Thursday it would delay the release of its Office business software suite, citing "product performance" issues.
In a statement released by the company's Waggener Edstrom public relations firm, Microsoft said it would now release the product to big business customers by the end of the year, instead of in October as planned.
Consumers and other business users are now scheduled to get the product in early 2007. Microsoft had previously said it would be broadly available in January, to coincide with the delayed release of Microsoft's Windows Vista computer operating system.
