Actually, the amusing part of this saga is that they won’t release it because some rather obscure Microsoft software lost compatibility. Rest assured many other programs ‘broke’, but Microsoft doesn’t care about those ‘third party’ pests; if it weren’t its own program, it would just let it be. SP1 of Vista is already guaranteed to break a lot more software and do nothing positive to compatibility (compared to RTM).

They have no choice, but they will be having long-term issues either way. If they can’t catch up with SaaS, they want to kill it (like they did Netscape when they saw potential for Web-based applications in the mid-nineties), but it’s too late this time around,

Watch how they call their old buddy David Kirkpatrick for damage control.

Its very bad thing to burn up all your cash reserves and go in debt when you have two heat seeking missiles on your tail (Linux/MacOS)

IMHO, MS should consider spending more time and money on Windows and Office their main cash cow rather than trying to chase Yahoo/Google

GNU/Linux is getting stronger everyday…
