Re:Already testing SP1? (Score 1)

Fedora would (hell, HAS) hold a release if it had 'high impact issues' and they pitch themselves as more of an early adopter testbed. Vista is going to be forcefed on millions of unsuspecting computer buyers whether they want it or not.

I understand the idea here, but it's entirely impractical. Microsoft would have to set up barricades and board up their windows (no pun intended) if they had delayed Vista again. It would've been a marketing catastrophe. Also, I'd suggest looking at the seemingly premature development of SP1 in a more positive light. Would you rather MS sit on their hands knowing about issues with Vista, or moving quickly to get SP1 out as soon as possible to fix those issues? It's a hell of a lot better than the situation with XP SP3... One thing's for sure: Microsoft screwed up Longhorn/Vista's development schedule, and they'd better damn well make sure it doesn't happen again.
