Microsoft has announced that Office 2007 Ultimate Edition will now be added to its list of Office 2007 packages. The new edition will include all the applications of Office 2007. According to Microsoft, the Ultimate Edition is created on the basis of customer feedback, and is targeted at users who do not want to choose specific components from Office. These are typically people working from home, who need access to the full line-up of Microsoft Office 2007 applications, so that they can create, find, manage, and share information across boundaries with the help of familiar tools in Office. The Office 2007 Ultimate Edition will include core applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Publisher, InfoPath, OneNote, Access, and the new Groove collaboration suite viz a version of Office 2007 Enterprise. The latest edition will also have other integrated functions such as content management, electronic forms, and rights management. Office Ultimate 2007 was not included in the original Office 2007 line-up announced in February. Microsoft will begin offering the new version through its volume licensing program at the end of 2006. Office 2007 Ultimate will also be made available on retail shelves, along with consumer versions of Office beginning January 2007. Microsoft has already announced Windows Vista Ultimate Edition that is a set of all features and functions included in the Home Premium and Enterprise editions. Some of the main features of the Vista Ultimate Edition include Windows Media Center, Tablet PC support, integrated search, BitLocker disk encryption, Virtual PC, multi-language user interface support, and services for UNIX. While the Office 2007 Ultimate Edition will be available at a price of approximately $679, Windows Vista Ultimate will retail for around $450.
