Bink is reporting that Gartner is saying Microsoft is making allowances for clients whose Software Assurance agreements are expiring this month. Office 2007 was originally expected to be released this month but it will not hit the shleves for a while yet. Microsoft is granting upgrade rights to Office 2007 for anyone anyone who has an SA agreement that includes Office and that expires this month. This includes anyone not intending to renegotiate.
