Microsoft: Vista will ship when it's ready
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft continues to give itself room to further delay the release of Windows Vista.
At its annual Financial Analyst Meeting on Thursday, Kevin Johnson, co-president of Microsoft's Platforms & Services Division, said that Vista development remains on track, but Microsoft won't ship the OS until the company thinks it's ready.
"There is no data that says we're not going to make the November business availability," Johnson said, speaking to analysts and media on Microsoft's Redmond, Washington, campus. However, he said that the company continues to evaluate Vista "milestone by milestone" and will ship the product "when it's ready" rather than according to a hard and fast schedule.
