For those interested, and those that have an MSDN subscription, Office 2007 Professional is now available for download. The 411MB ISO contains the following applications:

• Microsoft Office Access 2007
• Microsoft Office Excel® 2007
• Microsoft Office Outlook® 2007 with Business Contact Manager
• Microsoft Office PowerPoint® 2007
• Microsoft Office Publisher 2007
• Microsoft Office Word 2007

Hopefully the Ultimate edition will be made available soon.

Update: Microsoft has announced that Windows Vista will be available on Nov. 17th.

I just ran across an announcement for a new Microsoft product, Office Accounting 2007 Express. This is a free, and surprisingly full featured accounting package aimed at small businesses. If you run a business, or plan on starting one, this looks like a great addition to your tech-toolkit. I’ll post more on this again once I have time to review it more thoroughly.
