Yesterday ActiveWin had the exclusive of Windows Vista's official release date. Today, Microsoft confirmed all that by updating its release schedule and making an official press release. "Microsoft today confirmed that Windows Vista, the next generation of the Windows client operating system, is on target to go into broad consumer beta to approximately 2 million users in the second quarter of 2006. Microsoft is on track to complete the product this year, with business availability in November 2006 and broad consumer availability in January 2007."

Without early adopters we wouldn't have Rev. B hardware because you're either an early adopter or someone who waits for Rev. B or later. Without early adopters products wouldn't have customers. Yeah companies do have beta testers, but if those beta testers found all the problems we wouldn't need Rev. B would we.
I figure most early adopters must have more money than I do in order to be afford to be early adopters. So, let them test the early hardware releases and when the obvious bugs have been resolved it's safe for me to spend my money.

some people will rush out and buy it as soon as it is released, these people are sheep and can be ignored.

I guess all those early adpoters to any new Linux or Mac OS release could be labled as sheep too I suppose...
