Vista - Fiji?

I read somewhere in the above posts something about Fiji but can't find
it now having spent all of 5 seconds looking for it.

The post likened Vista and Fiji to ME and XP with a lead in time of
about 2 years.

I'd like to suggest that the lead in time be 6 months

On the basis that designing an OS for 2007 hardware should be available
in 2007 and not 2009.

Releasing an OS in 2009 that meets 2007 hardware spec struggles to meet
incremental and evolutionary changes in hardware slowing the whole cycle
down.

Can't we have Fiji in 2007?

That was probably me that posted it. Fiji is going to be NT 6.x. Not much is
known except that Fiji is a minor update to the NT 6.0 kernal, and the fact
that the codename exists. Wikipedia.org did have a wiki on it, but was taken
down (I don't know why). I guessed on the 2009 release, because it will
probably take two years from pre-alpha to RTM.

I can't say I'll do cartwheels around the room at the prospect of Max on
the basis of:

a) my upload speed
b) recipients download speed
c) traffic that may affect both at the time always assuming that my
computer is on when the recipient wishes to download.

<sheesh> And for that we have to wait till 2009? </sheesh>

Hasn't another organisation provided a suitable solution pre-2007
without the drawbacks of a), b) and c) as outlined above?
