Note: don't misinterpret my news post... I do think Vista will be a great OS, I just think it needs more time from its current state to the first public release. Without such time, the quality wont be what it's supposed to be and I'm afraid we'll hear a lot more complains than praises. And once people go back to XP, it will be pretty hard to make them move again.

But what about that little chance that microsoft worked their ass off, got everything working and really think that it's ready? On the other hand, microsoft's common way of working; the OS will be released 3 months after the date it is said to be. No-one sticked to '98 because it was damn ugly (and had stability lacks). Sure they will have to attract people with other factors now. But new pc's will be shipped with the OS, so i don't really think they will hurt themselves (many people believe in microsoft, like it or not), and certainly won't downgrade for all reasons you could imagine. But apart from that, I do understand your way of thinking, and it's right to say that releasing it now is a little early looking to what we've seen so far..
