| Microsoft will delay the release of the RTM (release to

| Vista operating system (OS) to the second week of November
| from the originally scheduled fourth week of October,
| according to sources at Taiwan PC makers who were informed by

I guess the joke that Vista /is/ SP3 for XP could become a reality.
Upgrade (pay rather than patch) or perish...
Vista introduces features such as a new interface, a fierce EULA, and
DRM. More for the customer? Doubtfully so.
