Call it analytical, but when someone makes a statement as such it serves as
an "I told you so" waiver -- one that you can use as an excuse later on.
Moreover, notice the fact that a date is not mentioned for that 20%
remainder. It would therefore be fair to release Vista in May 2007. Rex said
it would be August, in line with previous releases. We shall find out next
year. *Maybe*.
Best wishes,
Roy
