Default Final release date--Plenty of debate on Delaying It Right Now

What is the latest release date that Microsoft has suggested?

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.

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.

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?

Aparently they plan to shlep out the confused puppy they've made on October
25, 2006 or close.
