Around the end of this year or early next year.

Nothing official has been stated.
Rumors suggest it will be released with Windows Server 2008 early next year.

I heard it has been denied bail, and will remain in prison throughout the
several year appeals process until Blackcomb goes RTM.

***MSFT is Discriminating against the # 13***:

Is there no Building #13 on the Redmond Campus?

What's all this discrimination against the #13 on the part of big ole MSFT?

Is big bad MSFT Redmond Marketers done got sckeeered of lil ol #13?

I done noticed today a whole passle 'o articles on the coming Office 14.
How it done got a full complement of MDM aka Master Data Management in its
CTP comin' first quarter of 2008. It sure seems like Office 2007 released
not to long ago which was Office 12. Master data management is technology
that allows for the management of common reference data across disparate IT
systems or groups. So what's up with ole intrpepid MSFT? Has their
marketers done got afraid of lil ol #13? I know about the Beta of 12. I
know 12 released. Did they slip 13 onto the market and beta it lightning
quick and I done missed it?

Congratulations to the schlumps in the American Congress who did not have a
minute to debate the issues on the War in Iraq but spent a day condemning
free speech critical of it. No discussion of 4 million displaced refugees
who can't get work permits in other countries or into the US (about 150 have
been admitted in the US). No word of Blackwater who kills at will and is
subject to law in no country.

No word of the thousands of Dover coffins filled with dead boddies or the $3
Billion per week thrown away in Iraq. No definiton of what the empty phrase
"winning" actually means when we have no definite opponent but hundreds of
groups who oppose the US presence.

Most of all Congrats to the totally apathetic Americans who have no regard
for the loss of life that will continue to rage in Iraq until a draft is
instituted. That'll stop the chickenhawk Republican cheerleaders who
wouldn't get near service in Iraq and their kids of age to go (almost all US
Senators in this group) on a dime.

Or possibly later next year. In any case, we do know it's eventually going
to arrive.

Cheers.

Do you use Linux? Everytime you "google", you're using Linux.

Coming Soon! Ubuntu 7.10 ... New Features:
http://lunapark6.com/ubuntu-gutsy-gi...-features.html

does anyone think that SP1 will fix many of the software compatibility
issues within the operating system?
i purchased a new notebook PC over the summer and it came with vista. i
ended up returning the notebook because none of my applications except for
like 5 or 6 worked under vista. and 3 of those applications came
preinstalled. even some of the preinstalled applications had issues along
with over $3,000.00 worth of software that i had.

No, not at all. Why would you think it's up to MS to make 3rd party
software compatible with Vista?
It's entirely up to the software manufacturers to make their software
compatible with Vista. It's not like Vista suddenly appeared all at once
without any advanced notice. It has taken almost 5 yrs for Vista RTM to
appear, which is ample time by anyones calender to develop their drivers
to be Vista compatible.
Short answer is to try and install your software in compatibility mode,
which has proved to be quite successful for many of us!
Although YMMV.

Steven;
Without specifics of your software, your question is impossible to answer.
However it is best if you contact the manufacturers of your essential
hardware and software about Windows Vista compatibility.

While some 3rd party issues may be resolved by SP-1, it is the
responsibility of the manufacturers to do whatever is necessary for their
products if they feel their customers need Windows Vista compatible
products.

If your current computer does all you need, there may be no reason to
upgrade since Windows XP will probably be supported for several more years,
assuming you are currently using Windows XP.

Hi Steve

Compatibility updates are distributed via Windows Update, along with
security and other updates.

If you run Windows Update, and patch your machine to the current level,
you'll have all the existing compatibility updates. You don't need to wait
for SP1 in particular (although SP1 will certainly be worthwhile installing,
once it arrives).

Sorry to hear you're having problems. Some folks have solved their various
compatibility issues in this newsgroup. If (as Matt suggested) you send
along the details, we may be able to offer solutions or workarounds.

(There is a set of compatibility problems for which there seems to be no
solution, so I won't promise the moon. But, ya never know ...)

well i only asked because i beta tested Windows vista and i had less
compatibility issues within the operating system then. now that i am running
the final release i am having more compatibility options and i am running
the same damn applications.
