Microsoft’s “crazy chief” Steve Ballmer confirmed today that the next-generation Office 14 has been delayed until 2009. Why is this being reported in a netbook blog, you ask? Well, Ballmer revealed some relevant information, saying that a “netbook”-like version of Windows Server is also planned.

Microsoft is hopeful that this low-cost, low-price, low-functionality alternative will take advantage of OEMs wanting to design cheap or netbook-like hardware. The software will be known as the be the Windows Server Foundation Edition.
