New Vista and Office -- AP Misses the Story

http://www.onelocalnews.com/newhopecourier/ViewArticle.aspx?id=28923&source=2"

BRIAN BERGSTEIN, AP Technology Writer, does a quick survey of the upcoming launches of Vista and Office and somewhat vaguely and inconclusively cites Bill Hartnett on security improvements (he doesn't give Bill space to explain what is on offer). From Forrester he gets this:" What‘s the killer app?‘" said Forrester Research analyst Ted Schadler. "Somebody else will build a killer app on it, but until you get a killer app, you don‘t see the power of the platform." The killer app right out of the box is Excel in a powerful desktop improvement and even more importantly in a server version that permits the enterprise-level control that financial services firms want. Fully XML-enabled Office apps are a big advantage as well.
