Vista, Office 2007 To Launch in NY After Thanksgiving

The long-touted Microsoft Vista/Office 2007 tandem launch is on for the last week in November in New York, sources said. This event will focus on business usage and scenarios. The new client Windows operating system and Office client and server applications have been promised for volume business customers by year's end and for consumers by early 2007.

Jeff Raikes, president of the Microsoft Business Division, would not comment on a specific launch timing or venue but said the company remains on track for the two promised delivery windows. He applied the usual caveat: Microsoft will not ship the code if it's not ready. "I talked to Antoine Leblond and Kurt [DelBene] last week and they feel very good about the track they're on and I know Jim Allchin and the Vista team feel the same way. There's no new news," Raikes told CRN in a meeting at its New York City offices Tuesday.
