Will Vista be delayed again?

Wednesday, May 3, 2006 by Island Dog | Discussion: Windows Vista

It really wouldn't surprise me if it was delayed again.

"Research firm Gartner said Tuesday that it believed Microsoft would miss its targets and release Windows Vista another three or so months after its current November-January timeframe. The firm claims Vista's features are too complex to be finished that quickly.

Windows Vista was originally scheduled for a 2005 release, but has been repeatedly delayed as the Redmond company struggled to finish upgrades and ensure a quality release. Vista is the first major upgrade of the Windows platform in five years."

Windows Vista is going to be delayed again according to the New York Times. They said that it will be delayed probably between March and April.

bah! humbug! I'm getting tired of this. I've been looking forward to an update of Windows. I do want them to make sure that what they ship is good, but,... *sigh*

I think this quote I read today is quite fitting:

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

By the time they finally do release it, they will probably change the name to Longhorn or something.
