Micro$oft Office 14 aka M$ Office 2009

will not be released in 2009 but in 2010 and it will be called M$ Office 2010, maybe :P

Microsoft will not release its next-generation Office 14 suite in 2009, Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer confirmed during a Tuesday "strategy update" Webcast. A "netbook"-like version of Windows Server is also planned.
Ballmer offered a midquarter update to Wall Street analysts, focusing primarily on the impact of the economy on the company's business. Microsoft is using RCA as a model, Ballmer said; RCA continued to invest during the Depression, then went on to dominate the television industry.

"And that's kind of the mindset that we have relative to the economic situation," Ballmer said. "You don't beat it, you manage in this environment; you don't think about it as a short term, you think of it as a reset that may take several years."

And guess what? The Mac version may go further into 2011. But who cares? I mean, only stupid Mac people are still using that Mac M$ Office crap thing. iWork, NeoOffice, OpenOffice, etc. are better. Heck, even M$ Office 2007 under VM Windows is better than the Mac M$ Office 2008 crap.
