Since you emailed me in regards to my post listed here, and the fact that I tried to email you back but it was returned undeliverable; I will post my response here:

I am providing a link from Microsoft the substantiates the release date of January 30, 2007.
http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2006/nov06/11-08VistaRTM.mspx

The interview is of Sven Hallauer, release manager and director of program management at Microsoft. I am curious as to why you are so gung ho for this
release? And why must you cause such an issue when it is obvious people are answering your question? To answer your question in regards to my mental
status; no, I am not mentally challenged. I am trying to provide you with the correct answers to your question; which is why I asked you to restate
your question to avoid confusion.

Have a good night.

I am not interested in a retards money so I have one better for you. I'll
paypal you $100.00 and when Jan 30th rolls around and if you are actually
right you can keep the money. Of course when it becomes obvious that I am
right you have to give me the money and come over to my house and give me an
enema with your mouth, drinking all byproducts of the event. Let me know if
you are up for it.
