Microsoft's Office 2007 is seeing strong adoption by corporate users that will only pick up steam over the next 12 months, according to a Forrester Research survey released Tuesday.
The driver for adoption is not necessarily the popular suite of productivity applications but the allure of integration of the Office client software with back-end Office servers, namely SharePoint . In fact, adoption of SharePoint is helping foster Office 2007 upgrades, according to Forrester.
