Shall we start a pool on when it will hit TechNet and MSDN?
July? August? October? Given past history, I'm sure not betting on July :( |

| TL: I'll bet a shiny new nickel on the last week of July (2009). |

| TL/Bobs, I don't think we're going to see early availability after RTM. Maybe end of July, but I would be surprised. |

I've seen both software and music be announced as finished and it's in stores 2 weeks later. Anyone know why it takes MS 3 months to ship a finished product?

| Master, then package and build up an inventory worldwide first, as well as also allow OEMs to test it themselves. If they released it soon as, OEMs wouldn't be happy for a start. 2-3 months is a good enough time for everyone else down the line to get their stuff together, not just release it soon as in a untimely manner without any thought of preparations that others will need to do. |

| Vista RTM'd on Nov 8th, 2006 and was available to MSDN 8 days later. |

If a smaller software company can RTM their product and get it to my store shelf in 2 weeks (and I'm in Canada), then surely MS can make & ship retail upgrade boxes within a month to six weeks. OEMs will have access to the RTM ASAP and have already been testing all the milestones along the way. If they released it soon as, OEMs wouldn't be happy for a start. Why not? It's two different markets. It's not like the OEMs are going to lose sales based on when the retail upgrade ships. The people who need computers are still going to buy them, regardless of when the retail upgrade ships. 2-3 months is a good enough time for everyone else down the line to get their stuff together, not just release it soon as in a untimely manner without any thought of preparations that others will need to do. But again, since there isn't any crossover in the two markets served, why the need to coordinate? Ship the retail upgrade now and let the OEMs ship their new PCs pre-loaded when they're ready. This has the benefit of letting the more nimble OEMs score early sales. #6: I never took Marketing 101. Could you go a little deeper in explaining what you meant? |

| If they are announcing the RTM on 13th chances are it'll already be RTM a few days before that. Usually doesn't show up on MSDN for around a week unless they have changed things - hopefully they have. |

| "Vista RTM'd on Nov 8th, 2006... was available on BitTorrent on the 11th ... and was available to MSDN 8 days later." |
