| Guest | Vista RTM Pushed Back by Allchin--Push it way back and fix it! It's lookin like the part Turkey part Vista is appropriately gearing up for a Thanksgiving week launch in the Big Apple ( I guess Seattle is the little Apple): Mary Jo Foley's ZDNet Blog: http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=53 http://www.crn.com/sections/breaking...leId=193303500 Quote from CRN: "The long-touted Microsoft Vista/Office 2007 tandem launch is on for the last week in November in New York, sources said. This event will focus on business usage and scenarios. The new client Windows operating system and Office client and server applications have been promised for volume business customers by year's end and for consumers by early 2007. " Quote from Allchin: Vista is not on track to be released to manufacturing on October 25, according to Jim Allchin, co-president of Microsoft's platforms and services division. "We won't RTM (release to manufacturing) in a week," Allchin told me on October 18. "We are in pretty good shape. And there are still months before (the January 2007) launch." Allchin said Microsoft is looking at Vista across five categories right now to determine whether it's RTM-ready. The five: Reliability, security, performance, driver coverage and application compatibility. While some of these categories — such as driver coverage and app compatibility — may not be as robust as many would expect in order for Vista to RTM, Microsoft looks at things a bit differently, Allchin said. "We have to be done with Vista before the ecosystem can finish the rest," Allchin said. An April Fools Day Launch April 1, 2007 would be a lot better for customers. CH |

I see this quote, yet I see nothing that this implies that it was "pushed back". Show me the project plan that says the intent until now was to RTM on the 25th. |

| Guest | Re: Vista RTM Pushed Back by Allchin--Push it way back and fix it! Indeed, the Windows Vista Product Code is Locked (which is why Microsoft is Closing Everyone's Bug Reports as either Not Repro, Won't Fix and/or By Design). Windows Vista will indeed RTM on October 25th, 2006, Microsoft Time Zone. "Homer J.

So is that inside scoop provided straight to you through your MSDN OS level subscription? > Windows Vista will indeed RTM on October 25th, 2006, Microsoft Time Zone. Wow, I wasn't aware MS now had its own timezone. Oh, I get it. In the "Microsoft Time Zone", only *they* get to define what "October 25th 2006" really means. |

PT, ZDnet are not reliable sources on this since they and others often just want to be first and hope their rumour is correct. A real source would be from Microsoft.
