More speculation on Windows Vista release
Joe Wilcox, a senior analyst with Jupiter Research, has speculated about delays in the development process for Windows Vista and the implications for the final release date.
“[It is] awfully late in the process for there to be uncertainty in the dates, at least for the partners. If you are developing software or building computers, you kind of need to know where Vista is and where it is going to be. Yesterday’s call created more uncertainty than ever …”
Wilcox claims the uncertainty is bad for corporate users, who are making buying decisions now. Businesses are at the tail end of a major upgrade cycle.
“A December Beta 2 would have been a strong indication of a potentially earlier release of Vista, and for some businesses maybe a reason to wait longer on those upgrades. From my perspective, it is like NASA trying to launch a rocket to the moon; you have a launch window, and Microsoft missed the window with Vista,” Wilcox said.
