In a letter to journalists sent out today (this according to CNet.com), Microsoft has finally committed to a release date for its new flagship products Windows Vista and Office 2007. November 30th is the day the software giant will officially unveil these releases to the corporate space, with availability on consumer’s shelves and OEM installs slated for January of next year. This, coming after months and months of push-backs, delays and floundering, should make for an interesting 2008.

Is your organization planning on adopting Microsoft’s newest gems or will you hold off like most adapters until they work the kinks out a bit more? Certainly something to think about; and please think long and hard about all of the costs and consequences associated with this upgrade. One other note of interest is that Microsoft is still vague on when it might release its latest version of Exchange (at the end of this year or the beginning of 2007)… let’s see what that really means… ;)
