"MS Office 2007: The great Gamble"
"The big question is: are these changes sufficient to merit a change? A change of not only an application suite, but also the way we do things. For one, there would be a whole cycle of learning and unlearning with the new Office 2007. Will enterprises be willing to spend huge sums just to teach their employees a new suite, is certainly a fear that must be plaguing the minds of Microsoft honchos.

Also there is the catch: if I have to learn all over, why not give it a shot with something that is free and getting kind of popular? There is something that goes by the name, OpenOffice.org. With over 40 million users, it could turn out to be a viable option. Office was first introduced in 1987, and it has been over four years since last (Office 2003) was introduced. With such radical change, Office 2007 could very well be, Microsoft’s greatest gamble. Here’s wishing luck to the giant at Redmond."
