A Curious Message from Microsoft
The Australian news release concerning the Microsoft plea ” Buy Vista now – Don’t wait for the Service Pack” has a bit of an air of corporate intrigue.
According to nineMSN and APCmag.com, a “fact rich” program to help customers understand why they should “proceed with confidence” in rolling out Vista across all their PCs is in the works, if you are a reseller.
Mossberg (Wall Street Journal) recommended that buyers wait until the SP release this fall, and this article confirms that
“SP1 is no minor update. Although Microsoft won’t officially comment on its contents, we do know that Microsoft is at some point going to provide a complete replacement for the Windows kernel, moving from version 6.0 to 6.1 — the same kernel found in Windows Server 2008 (codenamed Longhorn).”
There may be too much in play right now – with the hype surrounding the iPhone sucking most of the media oxygen, the $600 of discretionary income might be holding off for a purchase of a new Dell.
That is only going to insert delay, as ultimately we are all getting ready for our Vista boxes.
