Are you stupid enough to think that complex rollouts of this magnitude are something that can be done over a weekend or something?

There are many companies out there that still haven't completed migration to MS-Windows XP, and it's been out for how long now? Speaking of which, how long as Longhorn Vista been delayed? Aren't they YEARS behind schedule on that?

Your trolling is unoriginal today. Don't you have some other talking points this week?

BTW, unless you have something to actually contribute to the thread, don't bother posting to me.

Nope, I'm just pointing out how ridiculous it is to be announcing something that's supposedly already been underway, and was supposed to be already completed last year.

Now we even have IBM trying to retract this announcement now, too.

And you're somehow worried about the accuracy of my posts! ROFLMAO!

No, but most companies manage it in months rather than years.

Again no, the stategy is to release a new OS every five years. That's in response to customer complaints that the release cycle was too fast. A 2006 release for Vista is in line with that since XP released in 2001. Either way, you'd complain.
