"SAN FRANCISCO (Business 2.0 Magazine) - Smarthouse, an Australian
trade publication, is reporting that more than half of Windows Vista
will have to be rewritten. The problems are so severe, Smarthouse
claims, that the newly reorganized Windows group is pulling in
programmers from Microsoft's Xbox game-console division. However,
blogger Alec Saunders doubts that the problems could be that bad -- if
so, he writes, Microsoft (Research) would be pushing Vista back to
2009, not 2007. Microsoft's own blogger Richard Scoble checked into the
story and got a denial from an executive at Microsoft's PR firm, who
says he's not aware of any Xbox programmers working on Windows.
Microsoft is now targeting next year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las
Vegas as the launch event for the consumer version of Windows Vista.
One reason for the delay, and for the possible involvement of Xbox
programmers: Microsoft now plans to include functions from the Media
Center edition of Windows, which can record TV shows and play photos,
music, and videos on a TV, into its mainstream operating system."
