Get Down To Business With Vista And OfficeWith the launch behind us, Vista and Office '07 will quickly define what users expect from their computing experience and need from their solution providers. Heather Clancy predicts things will be busy: "I do believe Vista's debut last week will be like the product launches of yore in that it's a great dialogue starter for your sales team. Which means 2007 will be awful, awful busy, and that you need to coach your staff both on how to handle objections and how to tout the business innovations made possible by the Vista-Office 2007 combination." Given that, CRN's cover story package this week is a must-bookmark--you'll refer to it many times-- Vista & Office 2007: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly examines the OS/Suite pair from every angle and spells out what solution providers need to know. But if customers are getting email, calendering, word processing and spreadsheets for free over the web, do Vista and Office matter? Barbara Darrow has her eye on: "Microsoft's continuing balancing act between the traditional Office/Vista delivery model relying on big-bang software sales vs. software as a service (SaaS), the delivery model pioneered by Google and representing the latest threat to Microsoft's traditional model."
