last email (a week ago) shows ship date of 2/4/2008, which itself was an "update"... whatever that really means in M$ speak. rebate showed up a couple of days after product status email, so all appears on track. if curiosity kicks in, may go to local store to demo new office, but can't imagine anything life changing w/ new version... M$ just seems to like yanking peoples' chains...
