What everyone seems to be missing here is that Microsoft's developers, by and large, have stock in the company and receive dividends. Of course they are not going to be happy when Microsoft misses the two biggest sales seasons of the year for them: back to school in the Autumn and then the holidays. They are going to miss out on a nice fat financial boost because of it.

I also don't believe that Microsoft's customers will en masse migrate away from Windows and Office due to a delay, but their shareholders (including their employees) *shouldn't* be happy about it.
