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.

If Vista is what should have been around a decade ago, then I have to wonder where the developers of every other OS were a decade ago.
Vista may be somewhat overhyped, but Microsoft is doing more with it than they have with any other version of Windows. I'm looking forward to many of the improvements to come.
As for GNU/Linux ... yeah, I don't think so. ;-) OS X has the support of the industry, and it has many a great application. WINE is still a sort-of solution.

Well, GNU/Linux distroes have a better part of these compared with Mac OS X, and on x86 they easily run windows apps too
(except that MS developers couldn't do the trick back then).
But no doubt that Windows has the largest share of the best desktop apps. No doubt.
But it doesn't change the fact that Vista is overhyped. It's nothing but what should have been more than a decade ago
