"Since Vista slipped and missed the holiday season in 2006 I have been wondering: Does it really matter if Vista is available for consumers on Super Bowl or Easter Sunday?" said Michael Cherry, an analyst with Directions on Microsoft. "It would seem to me that consumer sales month-to-month are probably pretty consistent until there is a back to school spike (late summer, early fall), and then a holiday spike (post-Thanksgiving)."
Jupiter Research analyst Joe Wilcox also wondered whether anyone would be upset by another Vista delay.
