Serious Bug Delays Vista RTM
Wednesday, November 1st, 2006
At least two news outlets are citing sources claiming the final version of Windows Vista has 
been delayed at least a week due to a bug which could crash a system that was upgraded from Windows XP. The bug was found in build 5824, said to be the "release to manufacturing" build.
Taiwan-based DigiTimes cited sources saying Microsoft had been successful in cutting the 1,400 known bugs in Vista RC2 by a third. However, the bug caused the company to adjust its timeline on an RTM release from the fourth week of October to the second week of November.
In a subsequent IDG story, Ethan Allen of thehotfix.net was quoted as saying, "the bug totally crashed the computer requiring a full reinstallation. With such a severe flaw, November 8 was now the new target date for completing Vista, meaning the business version will come very close to missing its November deadline."
