I think the company realizes its attempt to get customers to change their SP1-waiting ways hasn’t worked. All the Vista SP1 secrecy has backfired and drawn more attention to the whereabouts of the Vista update.

I so enjoy having to "click to activate this control" every time a flash control is in IE...Same deal..use the technology..get sued..fix it (sort of) in a sp way down the road. Deja Vu!!!

It obviously will be nice to get a few fixes and some other things but I remember the mention that it will be more like SP1 for XP which was more along the lines of minor bug fixes and a few house cleaning things instead of the OS overhaul that SP2 was. I believe the big change and what will sway people into Vista from XP will be when SP2 comes out in the not so near future. I don't see this delay as anything significant.

Originally SP1 was slated to be available later this year, but this announcement pushes it into the beginning of next year. Is Google really to blame? Or is Microsoft simply using this as an excuse to hide slippage on their SP1 release? Interesting .. the games big companies play.

We should probably expect to see Microsoft using this strategy in the future. A year of capitalizing on their market share is better than no time at all.
