Facing increased competition and negative perceptions — yet still optimistic and ready to fight for its home turf on the desktop — Microsoft has made its new Office 2003 available to retail customers. Microsoft said the new Office “system” — consisting of six suites, 11 products, four servers, one service and “Solution Accelerators” — will deliver productivity gains that will help the new software pay for itself in an average of eight months. “The new Office System is a major leap forward for information workers,” Microsoft chairman Bill Gates said in a statement.
