Bug Pushes Vista Out to November 8th 285
IntelliAdmin writes "Microsoft originally targeted October 25th for Vista's release to manufacturing, but a last-minute bug that 'took most of the Vista team by surprise' has caused an unexpected delay, said Ethan Allen, a quality assurance lead at a Seattle high-tech company that tests its products for Vista. Allen said the Vista team discovered the bug, which 'would totally crash the system, requiring a complete reinstall'. Vista now has a new RTM date of November 8th" A reader wrote in to point out this story originated with Paul Thurrott.

Actually it seems to be a bug in the upgrade routine of the installer, not in the system itself

Glad I just switched to mac, even though it took a CompUSA store closing in Roswell, GA to get me to fork the cash out. Even a 30% discount was painful. Since then I've had two crashes caused by alpha software, but nothing from release quality stuff.

Some of us found it funny. I found it hilarious.
That you do not find it funny or work for Microsoft and feel insulted does not mean it's a troll.
Reserve your troll and flamebait mods for racist bullshit posts. Spend mod points modding up a really insightful or at least well-written-even-if-wrong post elsewhere. Like the guideline says, focus on modding up, not down, nitwit.
