Why can't I buy Vista?

[Jupiter Jones [MVP]]

From an another post by YOU:
"I downloaded Vista 1 month ago along with the crack."
Apparently you are a self admitted thief.

Thieves seldom buy.

 

[Robert Armand Hammer]

Which countrymen are you refering?

Bob

You are letting down your fellow countrymen.. not exactly something of
which to be proud..

 

[Gary]

They are on January 30th.

Why would M$ not want to target 84% of their customers.

Microsoft Vista has not yet been released to retail outlets. The expected

Yes, and the fact that they missed the busiest season of the year was true
genius.

 

[Robert Armand Hammer]

Really, I've spent over $1000 in the last year on software.

As previously established they will miss this date.

I went to staples today and they don't have any copies of vista available.

I seem to remember using the word 'your'.. what is it about the word that
you fail to understand?

Your mission appears to be centered around disruption, intimidation,
humiliation and the propagation of malicious rumor and lies.. you do
yourself, your countrymen, and those who come into this group looking for
sense, no favors whatsoever.. if you consider all of that to constitute a
job well done, then your family have my sympathy..

How many times can one person be wrong in one day?

Vista HAS shipped. How many times do you need to be told the same thing?
Where do you get all your wrong information from?

I have the physical pressed media in my hands. Nice greenish shiny hologram
disc.

The mongols don't care what I do and they think you're a dink.

 

[Justin]

You're wrong again! Who in their right mind would upgrade their OS while
being VERY busy on their machine? The average person would prefer to wait
until AFTER the busy season.

So I guess the rumours aren't true. Bill didn't have you executed.
In any event just like I predicted 18 months ago Vista would not
ship this year. My new prediction is that it will be delayed again
from the new and imporved Jan. 30th date.

Which bit of the massive number of replies are you having trouble with
Bob? - Vista successfully released to manufacture and has now SHIPPED
to a huge range of customer in ALL of the planned versions and a large
number of languages plus special versions for EU and other countries
where restrictions apply
These are already available for both businesses and developers; and
broad general availability is scheduled for Jan 30 2007.
It really is not hard to grasp these simple concepts.

 

[Justin]

:O

There you have it folks! It doesn't get any lower then that!

 

[William]

What do you base your prediction on?

As previously stated, if Microsoft is going to continuously change
its dates, it should make a better effort to get them right.

Fact is Vista as its called now has been promised for the last 4-5
years.

For the record a statement to the effect of "Vista will ship next
year' means it will be available to all the target customers unless
qualified otherwise. This means statements like:

http://groups.google.ca/group/micro...neral/msg/aa3b424321dceadd?dmode=source&hl=en

And thus I rest my case - Windows Vista or as it was known when I made
that post the Windows "Longhorn" client - HAS SHIPPED in 2006. It IS
available as has been spelled out to you already to a huge proportion
of the Microsoft customer base - in fact the largest portion
(businesses), add to that the IT Pro and Dev community access to the
SHIPPED/FINAL product and my statement is vindicated.
You petty playing with semantics here is doing nothing to justify your
position or strengthen your statement. This lack of credibility on
your part is reinforced by your petty personal insults.

 

[Gene Fitzpatrick]

Okay Bob, plain and simple.

January 30, 2007

Market availability for Vista.

I don't know about the business versions, but they may be available through
Microsoft. Don't get your panties in a wad. Read it from the Microsoft site.

I downloaded Vista 1 month ago along with the crack. I have it on my test
system. Thats no the point, the point is why is it not available to the
majority of consumers right now.

Windows Vista will be available for retail purchase on or about 30 Jan 2007.

Honu

 

[Justin]

Wait...which establishment?

The only thing established here is how you are a liar and Vista will release
on the 30th.

As previously established by my "left one" you are deemed today's King Fool.
