Former captain of the Enterprise

Microsoft Corp. won't pin a timetable on the first major update for Windows
Vista, but one of its most important partners, Intel Corp., doesn't have a
problem naming dates.
During the Q&A portion of an earnings conference call Tuesday, Intel CEO
Paul Otellini was asked how Vista sales would impact his company's 2007
sales projections. Otellini began his answer with the by-now-standard
explanation that enterprises haven't jumped to the new operating system.
"Most companies will act like Intel," he said. "They're doing some pilots
and testing today."
But as he continued, he named a rough release date for Vista Service Pack 1
(SP1). "But the [Vista] deployment [in enterprises] will actually happen
when the Service Pack gets released in the fourth quarter time frame,
probably the October-November time frame," said Otellini.
Although Microsoft has confirmed that SP1 is in the works, it has refused to
name a release date or peg it to a particular quarter. That didn't change --
even after Otellini's leak.
