A two-sentence post from research firm Gartner has caused some uproar in the technology world, as Gartner researchers claim Microsoft will miss its release of Vista by three months, pushing it back into 2007.
cited an excerpt from Gartner's research note, where the analysts claimed "Microsoft still wants to get it out as soon as possible, but slipping from January to March is nowhere near as bad as slipping from shipping before the holidays to after the holidays."
Microsoft has denied it will miss the launch dates. "We remain on track to deliver Windows Vista Beta 2 in the second quarter and to deliver the final product to volume license customers in November 2006 and to other businesses and consumers in January 2007," a company spokesperson said in a statement.
Despite the denial, numerous responses to the report that Microsoft could again push back the oft-delayed launch of Vista, its next generation operating system and a core piece of the company's revenue stream, have found their way online.
