Who is waiting for Windows Vista?
Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006
At Technology Pundits, Roger Kay piles on to the “Vista’s not even close to ready” bandwagon, 
with this pithy quote: “Never in history has a Microsoft operating system been this buggy this late in the game.” That’s the punch line for a post that details a litany of bugs and a generally miserable experience with the latest beta build of Vista.
I agree with that overall conclusion, as far as it goes. But then Kay adds this strange follow-up:
Conclusion? November is still a solid maybe for the business version. Many of the best improvements in Vista (things like the way software images are built) are on the inside (not visible to the average user) and seem more together than the interface and the consumer-oriented multimedia functions, which are still somewhat brittle. So, unless they change the way they do business up there in Redmond dramatically, I’m thinking January is sounding pretty ambitious for the consumer version.
Huh? Release the business version in November but delay the consumer version? » Who’s waiting for Windows Vista? | Ed Bott’s Microsoft Report | ZDNet.com
