I latched onto a hush-hush series of e-mails last week. They were given to me by a source I have at Microsoft (and that's a first for me--having an anonymous source. Tres cool.) You can read the most interesting bits under the heading "Microsoft Spills the Beans," below. Vista's release date has been pushed back, maybe as late as January 2007. As someone once said, BFD. I mean, XP's running just fine on my PC, thanks. (Okay, I don't want to split hairs. Let's just make that running fine most of the time.) You can get the gory details about the delay in IDG's "Windows Vista Release Pushed Back to January 2007." One other thing about the delay: It appears there's been some head rolling (well, make that personnel reshuffling) at Microsoft, with a new VP taking over Windows development.

Wasn't this reported like... weeks ago?

It's a familar story with some "new" information...

#2.2 boogerjones on 05 Apr 2006 - 13:10

What "new" information does it contain? It tells us that Vista was delayed due to a security issue (which we already knew) and that there was some restructuring (which we already knew). The guy who wrote the article is just excited that he got a hold of some MS email thread that tells us nothing we didn't know. I'm sure his mom's proud.

i'm so glad that most of the comments i do read are just bs comments about people complaining. just shut the hell up. you act like a bunch of pre-teen bitchs. "OMG! i'm so kewl! i read this already somewhere else on the intarweb!!!111 LOLLERSKATES." pfft.

#2.4 bobbba on 06 Apr 2006 - 16:52

Bitching when article is posted as news when it's way out of date as reported by many major web sites is fair enough imop.

If the comments wind you up, don't read them and what the hell are you on with about the lollerskates???

My advice, get a life

PS: You sure your not the guy who posted the news item and that's why your upset maybe?
