With speculation of a ship date for Windows Vista ranging in the second part of 2006, word has surprisingly surfaced that it can be expected much earlier. BusinessWeek has received a copy of the internal blog of Chris Jones, who is a top Windows executive. The blog states that the code for Windows Vista will be completed by August 31, giving Microsoft the opportunity to place Vista on PCs for the 2006 Christmas season.

Vista shipping in Q406 means that
1. Stock holders care (Incidentally, this is a fantastic way of taking advantage of MSFT stock price)
2. Businesses care
3. Hardware manufacturers care
4. Software programmers care
Ya know, this geek-world that we live in is completely segregated by those who think that MS should release more often (IE upgrades) and those who think that they shouldn't (you). The question is, why *don't* you care?
I tell you, as a group, we're really much too two-faced to make an impact.
