Microsoft seeks revenue boost with rush Office release | |

The rush this time may well be inspired by Microsoft's sagging financial fortunes recently, as the Office line has been one of the software giant's most reliable money-makers. The current slowdown in technology spending "gives Microsoft a lot of incentive to get Office XP out fast and to get it out right," said Gartner analyst Chris LeTocq. "No other product is more important to their bottom line." | ||

| I don't actually think it has been rushed out - they did have the RTM date for March a while back, so where was the rushing? |
