Office 2013, 365 listed as arriving January 29th at Canadian retailers

What is it with Canadian stores potentially spoiling launch plans?

We've asked the company for comment, and we'll let you know the response. When both stores list a January 27th in-stock date, however, any answers will come quickly.
