It is a good thing that Vista will be out in 2007 now. Perhaps in your
opinion, but certainly in mine, at least 5 years between major releases is
probably the better. It doesn't make sense for the computing world to more
in a hurry than that. What's the point in rushing? None.

Have a nice one.
 
Good point... but they certainly will NOT release it a day before it's
ready... so in theory, it could well be 2008 and onwards.. but it won't be
:o)

A later release date should give hardware manufacturers ample time to get
their drivers sorted for Vista.
 
Actually, the delay is at the request of OEMs,

What do you mean by not exactly? Yes, not all OEMs are in agreement, but the
really big ones, Dell, HP, Gateway certainly are. This announcement will
probably affect mostly small, white box vendors.

In the meantime, the discussion of how you'd sell Vista in 30-seconds to a non-techy consumer hasn't come up with much
Abbie-understandable reasons other than "cooler games!" Sure, Abbie probably spends a lot of time with solitaire and minesweeper, so
that's good. But most of it focuses either on issues so deep and technical that the average consumer is going to shrug and say,
"Hell, I don't think I need any of that!" or on issues that make you think that XP is a ticking time-bomb of unstable code ready to
explode 1s and 0s over anyone who looks at it wrong. And as for Alpha Geeks and super-users, it sounds like LUA is going to be a
daily pain in the patootie.

The good news? Well, we've got plenty of time to conjure up reasons why Vista is going to be better than XP in a way that anyone can
understand and agree with. Plus $500 million to spend doing it.

Oy. Oy. Oy.
