"We have much less trouble with your software when it's not installed"
According to this article, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said "Microsoft will never again wait so long to release a new version of Windows."
Microsoft's stock was down 18% on the news.
Ha. I crack myself up. Again. But, admit it. You thought the same thing when you read that.
Releasing Vista right after everyone's spent all their money on Christmas gifts in December probably won't do much for the stock price either, come next February.

Heh.
What struck me more was the 80% chance of hitting with Vista in January which was followed by a mental, "And thereafter there'll be 80% chance it'll work on a given day."
