SP2 RTM Out Tomorrow!!!!!!

[Jupiter Jones [MVP]]

One thing I forgot.
My guess is more specifically 15 - 31 August.
If it turns out to be wrong no big deal, it was only a guess and I
stated it as a guess.
In spite of all the talk, SP-2 is not yet available so you are
premature on this point also.
When SP-2 come out some will claim that proves they were right all
along, Wrong, it just proves their guess was correct. Most will be
silent because they were wrong.
Enough guesses and someone is likely to hit it right.
My guess has not changes, but we shall see.

Two things I have little doubt:
1. If my guess is wrong you will quickly point out my "prediction"
was wrong (another misquote opportunity for you).
2. If my guess is correct, you will disappear for a time back into
that hole of yours or at least never show yourself as being wrong..

Sorry, Jupiter

I got to side with bob & papa on this one. He copied exactly as it
was printed on google. Check it out before responding

However, I just think Jupiter may just had a bad day. That day he
posted that.

Greg;
Look at it again:
What I said "...are one of the major causes..."
Now look at Bobs original quote "...are the cause..."

He conveniently deleted and changed words thus changing the meaning.

I do not believe it the way he chose to misquote my words.
However I do believe in what I said "Calendar watchers like you are
one of the major causes of buggy
software."
There are many reasons, that is only one.
Even though Bob and Hermes would like to think I am naive enough to
think such a complex issue has a single cause, I know there are many
and I listed just one.
Thus the wording "...are one of the major causes..."

Spoken by the troll also incapable of reading.

Who is the troll here?

 

[hermes]

Spoken by the troll also incapable of reading.

Perhaps you also should read it.
Since you have already commented, it is really to late, but still...
My "selective memory" happens to match what I actually posted.
Someone else posted a link, perhaps you should read it.
There is a difference.

If you would read it you would notice a few words difference from what
I actually said and how Bob misquoted me.
If you can not see any difference perhaps you have the same
comprehension issues as he does,

As for "personality flaws", I am not the one misquoting.
I am not blindly following Bob as you are just because it seems to
suit your motives.

Enough time wasted on people unwilling to comprehend.
Post back only so you and Bob can wallow in each others company,
because I may not even see it.

The plonk me and have done with it Jupiter. I find it interesting that
on more than one occasion you use the tactics of a toddler where you
make a comment on a discussion we are having, then try to imply that
your response is your final response and to quote you above, you "may
not even see it". That is akin to a toddler trying to have the last say
then covering his own ears singing "LALALALALA" really loud so as not to
hear any more. But as for personality flaws, I think the most prominent
one I see in some MVPs is the narrow mindedness in seeing only M$'s
point of view.

Where is it on that link? I must be going blind (to be expected at my age).

 

[Natéag]

I accessed it earlier. It must have been withdrawn.

The link appeared on The Register.

The page can no longer be accessed.

Don't you read the newspapers??????

You mean the papers that have been wrong so much in the past on this
very subject?
So many articles over the past few months have made predictions and
been wrong in the past.
Some have been reputable others not so reputable.
Which single source is correct 100% of the time?

RTM occurred this morning.
Beta Testers got access shortly after.
MSDN subscribers gained access shortly after Beta testers.
RTW is as yet undetermined.
Perhaps tonight, tomorrow or next week, we do not know.

If I was to make a prediction...I would say I need to wait till I get
a crystal ball, however my guess initially was 15 - 31 August.
I could revise that guess because there is more definitive information
available than was unavailable this morning.
