Sure.  What do you think?  Microsoft has a poor track record releasing anything.  That is not to say this will continue, but I am not going to put any faith into it.  Windows XP does what I need it for so that is enough.

Microsoft should make good on the promise.  Nerds and other critics will tear Microsoft apart if it is late shipping the product.  Public relations is not exactly that great for Microsoft at this time.  This is not enough to save the image.  The product for $200 retail best be of good quality too.

Microsoft has wised up by providing a Windows XP interface for the new interface.  That leaves me scratching my head.   If anyone chooses to use the Windows XP interface, then why upgrade?  Save yourself $200 and take a class in Linux workstation.
