That seems to be the general reaction by industry to the announcement that Microsoft Vista will be delayed (yet again) in production. Certainly it’s my reaction, since:
- I’d rather it were stable than available.
- I don’t expect we’ll be adopting it any time soon after it’s available.
Which seems to be the reasons IT groups in most companies aren’t terribly worried about the delay, either. Though it might be worrisome to Micro$oft that there are so few cries and wails and gnashing of teeth (or even some mild disappointment) over the reschedule.
I’ll probably play around with a copy of Vista I get through work every now and then, but I’ll wait awhile before putting it onto my own PCs until I see how invasive the Trusted Computing DRM it contains ends up being. Vista may be the first OS I reject outright if it tries to take away too much control over my own PC from me.
