Microsoft pushes back Office 2003 launch
Microsoft, following feedback from beta testers, plans to release a “refresh” of Office 2003 beta 2 before finalizing the product, pushing back the commercial launch of the productivity software suite until the third quarter, the company said Thursday. ADVERTISEMENT “We are making a number of improvements to the beta 2 version of the Office System products,” said a Microsoft spokesman who asked not to be named. “There are no major issues with Office 2003, but the beta has allowed the Office development team to gather feedback about some minor issues that can impact customer satisfaction.” [IDG InfoWorld]
