Smart strategy. Although even if it does come out in December I'll still play with it before 2007

 

[Brad]

I guess January of 2007!

Actually the moment after I posted that I read about Vista being delayed till Jan '07.

I predict Feb 1st, 2007. My Birthday!

Had a feeling it wouldn't be out this year.

Which of the 5 versions are we betting about?

You are all probably right. Plan on staggered releases.

Vista "Home" first 11/21/06
(aka beta test 2)
Vista "Pro" late december but before xmas day
Corporate (3/27/07) and export (4/1/07) versions last
(max stability and screw the cheap ones respectively )

lol, so I guess I lost the contest....... I said Nov 16th.


Last time I checked, November != January haha.

 

[kcnychief]

That's bad news if it doesn't come out until 2007

Did you guys hear about the Microsoft Employee revolts?

What did they expect to accomplish? Besides for a new job at Apple? hehe
