Heads Roll As Microsoft Misses Vista Target

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the the-pressure-is-on dept.

A reader writes: "Business version is on time, but the company won't make the key holiday consumer sales season. After another delay in the release of its Windows Vista operating system, Microsoft last week put a new executive in charge of future Windows projects and replaced several other managers. The changes are designed to better align Microsoft's desktop and Internet software teams and get products to market faster." There's also a NY Times piece that discusses why Windows has been so slow (to come out). Worth the reading.

    they're saying the same thing as yesterday, as far as I can tell.

    But now the New York Times is saying it. Time for Slashdot to get the NYTs their monthly online registration quota.

  2. Question for Apple Experts by geoffrobinson · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Wouldn't it be the move to UNIX that has made it easier for Apple? I believe they are on BSD. The underlying foundation must be built on some sort of POSIX, etc. (whatever standards are the standards, I haven't read up on this in a long time).

    I have no idea what kind of internal standards Windows uses.
