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.

Vista will be pushed back again.


I'm not a betting man, but oh how I wish you were here next to me, and we could both plunk down $100 or more as a wager on whether it will be released to the retail market on January 30 and give it to some neutral party to hold.


Why don't you just shut up, Bob? Can you understand that VISTA IS NOT AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC?
Allen
It has *already* been released--just not to the general public. *You* can't buy it yet, but corporate customers can, and many people who have an MSDN subscription have had it for over a month.

I'm not a Microsoft employee, and am not in any position to make any promises, and there's always some chance that I could be wrong and it will be postponed, but it is highly unlikely.

And also note that the word "again" in the sentence "Vista will be pushed back again" is not appropriate. It can't be pushed back *again* because it was never pushed back before. Despite all the rumors and estimates that have abounded as to when it will be released, there has been only a single announced date: January 30, 2006. I wouldn't bet the farm that that's when it will be released, but I'd bet a goodly amount of money on it.
