Forbes Opinion Piece: Microsoft Vista Not 'People Ready'

Daniel Lyons has an opinion piece up on Forbes.com about a recent press conference held by Microsoft:
The new version of Microsoft Windows, called Vista, has slipped again. It was originally going to ship in 2003. Then 2005. Then 2006. Now in early 2007. I'm not surprised, having seen a demo of Microsoft's new programs at an "event" for tech buyers in New York last week.
In other MS news, up to 60% of the code in Vista is set to be rewritten as the Company "scrambles" to fix internal problems. In an effort to meet a deadline of the 2007 CES show in Las Vegas Microsoft has pulled programmers from the highly succesful Xbox team to help resolve many problems associated with entertainment and media centre functionality inside the OS. Comments on the last bit over at Slashdot.
