Prices for Microsoft Office 2003, together with a range of other upcoming products from the company, have been released on online retailer Amazon.com's UK site.

Microsoft had been keeping a tight lid on pricing information for the new products, as well as a launch date. The listings on Amazon.co.uk indicate that the products will be available on 24 October. An Amazon spokeswoman said the prices appeared to be authorised. "We generally put pricing up as soon as we get it," she said.

Microsoft however said it has still not released pricing and at the time of writing was looking into the matter.

Microsoft had previously said only that the various components of its newly renamed Office System line of products would ship late this summer. That meant Microsoft would need to have a final version of the software to ship to PC manufacturers within the next few weeks.
