So,
Microsoft Office Pro Plus, the story about Apple delaying the Leopard edition of Mac OS X from a few weeks back was 50 percent proper. Bootcamp wasn't behind the delay; the iPhone supposedly is. Now Leopard is slated to ship in October 2007 instead of "spring 2007." Like Microsoft did when it took folks off Windows Vista to work on Windows XP Service Pack (SP) 2, Apple is taking folks off Leopard to work on the iPhone. If I were Microsoft,
Office 2010 Professional Plus Key, I'd launch a "Cupertino,
Windows 7 Pro, start your photocopiers,
Office 2010 Standard!" (just like Apple's "Redmond,
Office 2010 Key, start your photocopiers!") campaign. Microsoft could say: "Who's copying who now, huh? We thought of the not-enough-engineers excuse way back again in 2004!"Will Microsoft dare to be that creative? No….
