Windows Vista Delayed Again

Trenty writes "Ars Technica is reporting that Microsoft has delayed Windows Vista yet again. Jim Allchin told analysts that the OS would not ship in January of 2007, which is a 1-2 month delay. Oddly, even though they are citing the need for more time to tweak security, business editions will available to volume licensing customers before the close of the year."

    How exactly can Microsoft make Vista a compelling upgrade other than releasing new game titles that will not run on Windows XP?

    They could follow Apple's lead; with each 0.1 incremental OS update, Apple releases a new version of iLife and iWork that (artificially) require the new OS.
