This whole lifecycle plan of theirs doesn't obligate them to do anything. Look at Windows XP SP2. Microsoft made two major changes to RPC and DCOM [in SP2] for security reasons, but said they were 'architectural changes.' They weren't required, they said, to make those changes available in Windows 2000, which at that time was still in mainstream support. - Michael Cherry Quotes

At the moment, the best thing will be to wait until you go into a store and see Vista actually running on it. But that's a year away, isn't it? - Michael Cherry Quotes

Although Microsoft has stated that customers want predictable releases, they have made no effort to make the availability of service packs predictable. Service packs, which are typically loaded with features are totally random events that IT cannot plan for. Because they contain hot fixes and security updates, customers have to roll them out. So I don't anticipate a quick update to Vista. - Michael Cherry Quotes

I am a little concerned about some of the predictions based on the software (builds) we are seeing now?each build is more stable than the previous build?but there is still a long ways to go. If we don't see substantial stability improvements in May when we get Beta 2 then I will be worried. - Michael Cherry Quotes
