Microsoft adds Office 2007 to enterprise price lists

Companies with Software Assurance agreements that expire at the end of November will be able to upgrade to Office 2007, Gartner said Tuesday, because Microsoft has added the new suite to its corporate price lists.
Although the new bundle, the first upgrade in three years, has not yet been released to manufacturing, its appearance on the November Open and Select price lists means that some businesses can relax.
"Organizations whose contracts expire at the end of November can now breathe a sigh of relief knowing that they will have rights to the software whether they renew their SA Software Assurance or not," said Gartner analyst Michael Silver in a research note posted online.
