Windows Vista Delayed Till 2007

Microsoft has announced yet another delay for its upcoming Windows Vista OS. Jim Allchin told analysts that the targeted launch date has now been pushed back to January, 2007 for all consumer versions. This delay was to mainly address the last remaining security enhancements in Windows Vista.
"We needed just a few more weeks," Allchin said in a conference call. In a press release, he said "the industry requires greater lead time to deliver Windows Vista on new PCs during holiday. We must optimize for the industry, so we've decided to separate business and consumer availability."

“We needed just a few more weeks,” Wow. A few more weeks? It's March, a few more weeks is no more then July. Why even bother buying Windows Vista, even mac, when you can use free open source software, like Linux?

M$ is evil... they're just out for more money. I haven't payed for anything from Microsoft and I never will. They're bloody useless... with all that money Billy boy has, he should give everybody with a legal registered copy of XP a free copy of Vista, too. That bastard doesn't need any more money, and he won't be getting any from me.

I beleive the delay is due to improvements in the security center and also imperfections in Direct X 10
