Office 2010 coming ahead of schedule?

There's one perk that Microsoft's Steve Ballmer likes to exercise, as much as the CEO's handlers might like him to stifle some of his out-of-the-blue statements. The head of Microsoft can announce anything he wants, even unrealistic ship dates for important products.
Last week, in a speech to the Nashville Technology Council at Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, Tenn., Ballmer pulled a classic. The outspoken CEO either got a little ahead of his developers or he pre-announced early availability of Office 2010. It wouldn't be the first time for either scenario.
"You'll see the new version of Office [2010], which comes out here in just a couple of months," Ballmer told the audience. He didn't elaborate, however.
