Maybe the delay is because they're tightening up all those security flaws...

Multiple versions and 'something for everyone'? Sounds like Microsoft has *not* found new wisdom in their approach to Vista, and it will be as much of a horror as their previous OS releases.

I have yet to see a "killer app" or service that would make me want to upgrade to Vista, or even desire it preinstalled on a a new machine, so the delays don't bother me. AFAIK the new file system isn't going to happen, at least any time soon, Aero Glass sounds like an unnecessary resource hog that I'd immediately disable, and unless MS has really changed the way they configure for security I'd bet that my current XP systems are more secure than a fresh default Vista install would be.

I think I've posed the question before but don't remember any responses - why would a person want to upgrade a system to Vista? Why would a person prefer it to XP on a new system?

"When will it be finished?"

"When it is finished!"

But face it, Bill Gates is no Charlton Heston.

...speaking of which, since it was the Sistine Chapel and all...

"you are Linux, and on this kernel I will build my operating system, and the Hell of Gates shall not prevail against it."

Cheers!
