Windows Vista to be delayed even longer?
Another significant delay for Windows
Vista would drop it firmly into the vaporware category right next to Duke Nukem Forever, but that's what analysts are
saying is about to happen. Research firm Gartner Inc. says that Vista's release date
will slip by at least three more months, making a consumer release fall in Q2 '07, between April and June.
Microsoft disagrees, however, saying that it's still on track for November and January release for the corporate and
retail markets, respectively. Gartner is almost nonchalant about its projected delay, however, saying that a slip to
March (March? Didn't you just say April-June?) would be nowhere near as bad as the slip to January that has already put
Vista out of Christmas shopping territory.[Via Engadget]

I am guessing that was supposed to be Q2 '07?

Excuse me guys, but is this "DOWNLOADsquad.com" or "Since we're a sister site of Engadget let's repost every tech story.com" ? Seriously, let's have a little more content tuned to downloads. What happened to all the freeware apps, games, and general time wasters?

WEll, There has been enough delay and I hope that Microsoft acts more quickly. Many companies are eagerly waiting for the release of windows Vista as they are expecting that windows Vista will help the tech business to grow more.

I back what David says.
Download Squad is supposed to be about DOWNLOADS.
Let's cut the opinionated tech news and stick to relevent stuff that we can actually DOWNLOAD.
Failing that, change your name so I know not to bother coming to yet another regurgitated news outlet.

Thank you, Techware. I'm glad I'm not alone in this feeling. In the defense of downloadsquad, they did add some downloads today. Well, ok it was just one. And they read it on Digg what, yesterday? But that's beside the point, this is about pleasing the customer, right guys?
So thanks for listening guys, your readers really do care and we appreciate the effort. But what's with the negative star??!!

All blogs regurgitate.
Windows Vista is software.
Download Squad is a blog about software, programs and utilities.
Vista may be one of the more important software releases of the decade.
Why shouldn't they cover it?

in the way things are going, expect Windows Vista to be released by the time that Apple releases Mac OS XI version 11.5 !
