Microsoft May Delay Windows Vista Again 482
UltimaGuy writes to mention a Reuters report, stating that Vista may be delayed again, this time by up to three months. From the article: " The research note, released to clients [by the Gartner Group] on Monday, said the new Windows Vista operating system is too complex to be able to meet Microsoft's targeted November release for volume license customers and January launch for retail consumers. A Microsoft spokeswoman said the company disagreed with the Gartner report and it was still on track to meet its launch dates."

"Still better than Linux"
"It's only because MS is so far ahead already; they feel no need to rush their product out the door."
"This time they'll get the security issues right."
"Damned if they do, damned if they don't. You Linux advocates complain no matter what; admit that this way they'll avoid the bugs!"
"It's Windows! It's the biggest project anywhere! 3 million lines of code! And it's Vista, the biggest upgrade yet! What's a few months between friends? Vista is WAY bigger than any Linux distribution!"
"Microsoft has to be enterprise ready. Linux is for dweebs and nerds. Of course Windows has a longer release cycle; that's 'cause its better"
"It's not fair; if MS didn't have to deal with all these vindictive, nerdy hackers, Windows wouldn't take so long to develop. Imagine if Apple or Linux had to deal with these black hat hackers."
"We're MS. The Volume Goes to 11 Here."

Also I'm not sure how you got OSX 'Tiger' to run a G3, unless you know of a trick I don't know of. I didn't think it would install, nor function properly without the altivec extensions.
What trick did I use to get OSX 10.4 to run on my G3 800mhz iBook with 640ram?
Step one: Insert DVD-rom into DVD drive.
Step two: Click INSTALL.
Step three: Wait an hour or so.
Step four: Enjoy Mac OSX 10.4 with, as others have stated, high end functions like Quartz Extreme and the like turned off. They're not supported, so it doesn't use them. All they do is speed up the OS, so it runs without them, just slower.
