Final release date--Plenty of debate on Delaying It Right Now
What is the latest release date that Microsoft has suggested?
"Chad Harris" wrote: There are indications to me. Delay is in fact being hotly debated by your friends at Redmond. There are a slew of arguments right now between PMs who know are ready to push to get anything signed off and developers who know much is broken. If this thing ships Nov/Jan it will be the most broken Windows ever. It is now far short of what was conceived, and it is not fixing major components. And it will get characterized as a turkey promptly by people who take every aspect of it apart. CH "Colin Barnhorst" wrote in message ... There is no indication by MS of consideration of any later date than this quarter for RC1, release to manufacturing and distribution to Software Assurance customers in November, and General Public Availablility in January. There may be one more interim release to TechBeta this month before RC1 is released to CPP participants and an even wider audience. "ZAZ" wrote in message ... Just curious...do you all think that Vista will be released to general public in January of 2007? Or do you think it may be pushed all the way to next April or even May (or just scrapped altogether)? And if released on time, SP1 immediate in the horizon? I mean, we've been waiting for a few years now, so would another delay matter? 8-) |
