Does anyone have the real scoop on the latest edition of Microsoft Office? I've been ready to upgrade for some time but the Microsoft site doesn't offer much help. The only info I could find on the site was a page about upgrading. The opening description on the page clearly notes Microsoft 2006: Microsoft Office Small Business Management Edition 2006 includes the financial and customer management programs and tools that today’s small businesses need. Learn how to acquire Microsoft Office Small Business Management Edition 2006 and order it today. However, the references throughout the page and the links are all for Office 2003. In fact, the only other reference to 2006 on the page is in the pricing section ($399 upgrade). I won't digress here into another rant about proofing your pages before you post. Is the final verison still scheduled for a July 2006 release? Is the Small Business Accounting 2006 included or a separate purchase? Why would they update Outlook 2003 and call the new version "Outlook 2003 with Small Business Contact Manager" instead of "Outlook 2006?" Update 10/15/05 10:00 a.m.: After further research, I located a bit more info on the Microsoft site. Unfortunately, this page also references and links to Office 2003 so it's not much help. If I read the page correctly, the new version of Office is just the old Office 2003 package with a "Business Contact Manager update" and "Small Business Accounting 2006" added. I ordered the complimentary Small Business Accounting 2006 cd trial, but it's only good for 20 uses. It'll take me at least 1/2 that many just to get used to the interface. It should be here in 4-6 weeks. Update 10/21/05: The trial cd is already here! Now THAT is impressive. posted by Wendy Kurtz on October 15, 2005 07:33 AM
