Microsoft Office 2007 code goes gold

eWeek | at | by Mike

Microsoft's 2007 Office system code has gone gold, the software maker said on Nov. 6. This milestone means that the Microsoft Office code has been released to manufacturing before that of Windows Vista, which entered its last official beta test last month with the availability of the second release candidate.

But, Microsoft officials noted, the worldwide business availability of the 2007 Office system, Vista and Exchange Server 2007 is still on track for Nov. 30, when company executives will participate in events around the globe, including an event with CEO Steve Ballmer in New York.
