Why you shouldn't believe everything you read in the press

Just saw a story from ENT News yesterday:

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2007 will be released at the same time as the 2007 Office release, which is slated for volume license customers on November 30, and will ultimately be available in 18 languages for small, midsize and enterprise customers, the company said.

This is not quite accurate. Microsoft will release a new update of CRM that will enhance the user experience when running with Windows Vista, Exchange 2007 and Office 2007...but it will still be officially named Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0. There is no such thing as Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2007.

Some people informally refer to the upcoming compatibility update as Microsoft CRM V3C to differentiate it from the original Microsoft CRM 3.0 release.
