Microsoft on Thursday pushed back the release date of Office 2008 for Mac until January, a delay from an earlier promise to deliver the new suite this year.
"It was clear from our June and July quality checkpoints that no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't release our product in time for the Christmas season with the kind of quality we wanted," said Craig Eisler, the development group's general manager, on the team's blog.
The new mid-January debut to retail would correspond with Macworld Expo, Apple's big conference and trade show, which is slated for Jan. 14-18 in San Francisco.
