Microsoft (News - Alert) Corp. is all set to release the 2007 Microsoft Office system on Nov. 30, 2006 along with Windows Vista operating system and Exchange Server 2007. Microsoft has plans to initiate a massive promotional campaign to launch those products.

“The 2007 Microsoft Office system RTM (release to manufacturing) completes the most significant improvements to the products in more than a decade,” said Jeff Raikes, president of the Microsoft Business Division, in a press release. “It’s rewarding to be able to send this release off to our customers and help them take the next big leap forward in productivity.”

Meanwhile, Microsoft has redesigned its Microsoft Office Online to help people learn about what’s new in the 2007 Microsoft Office system. With the Microsoft Office Online, information workers will be able to decide which products are best for their needs and find related productivity resources.



The office assistance comes with nearly 50,000 new help articles, a how-to refresher through one of the 35 new demos, online training through any of the 24 new courses. Users have the option to download one of the more than 400 new templates or access other product downloads and tools.

The 2007 Microsoft Office comes with some various management tools that help IT professionals reduce the cost and complexity of desktop deployments and upgrades by utilizing resources such as the Office Migration Planning Manager, Open XML Formats Conversion Toolkit, the Business Desktop Deployment 2007 Solution Accelerator and the Office Resource Kit.
