I don’t know who you hang out with, but I can’t think of a single person I know who is excited about Vista. (Except excited in the sense that it’s going to be a horribly restrictive operating system that might shut down randomly one day because you’ve been mistakenly identified as having a pirated copy and that crap will cause people to switch away.)

I don’t think anyone is excepting the release of Windows Vista, even after it’s release people who migrate from xp to vista will be relatively very less !!

Agreed. Let it simmer. I’m using XP and, you know what, it still works just fine.

Gates said in South Africa that he would not be afraid to delay Vista again if they thought they had to. Personally I hope they release the OS only when the feel like they’re ready. Who cares if they release it later after all the delays that have already happened. None of the business are going to touch it until they’ve done their internal tests and consumers will have missed the major buying season (xmas) anyway. So the only people very likely to get Vista are those buying new PCs and enthusiasts who want to check out the new OS.

In other words, no one is really going to care if it comes out late. If it allows them to release a significantly more stable version (because obviously the more you delay, the more stable the release will be) of the OS then by all means, delay it.
