Microsoft: No Rush to Vista SP1
,----[ Quote ]
| Those enterprises holding off Windows Vista deployments for Service Pack 1
| maybe shouldn't wait on Microsoft.The question: Should they deploy Vista or
| XP?
|
| Until today, the silence around SP1 was downright frightening. Other than
| responding to a Google legal complaint, Microsoft has been mum about SP1's
| delivery. Microsoft still is not saying when, but it is now saying the update
| isn't that important.

| Do you really want to wait for Windows 7 instead of upgrading to Windows
| Vista? What if there were more problems in Windows 7? What if the date slips
| again. What if it takes two years for Windows 7 to stabilize after its
| release?

It's Official: An Unofficial Delay
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft isn't characterizing the launch announcement as a ship delay, which
| is possible because of the "2008" nomenclature and the likelihood that the
| software will be released to manufacturing this year. My guess is that will
| happen around November, unless there are unforeseen development problems.

Windows Fiji: Now second half of 2008?
,----[ Quote ]
| Because Microsoft won’t comment officially on “Fiji,” the expected,
| standalone update to Windows Media Center, it’s tough to confirm a date slip.
|
| But Chris Lanier, a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) in
| the digital media arena, is predicting that Fiji won’t debut in 2007,
| as Microsoft and other interested parties had been predicting.
