" That's the problem, no one but Engadget said 2011.
MS said 3 years. They didn't say 3 years from now, just 3 years, which is what they said 1 year ago when Vista came out. That means there are 2 years left.
I'm sure they are very happy for you to assume they mean 3 years from NOW, which means they can let you assume wrong, and then over-deliver when it ships in 2010, 3 years after Vista launched, just as they promised.
Then again, I am sure that hating MS will still be the "in" thing then too, so you will find a reason to bash why they lived up to the expectations I am certain."
" They said 3 years or so prior to Vista being released. You can find numerous times where it was stated something along the lines of "5 years is far too long between releases, we'll be going back to a 3 year release schedule." Taking into account that Vista has been out the door more than a year now, 3 years is actually 2010, so you were wrong about '01 and wrong about '11. It's ok, I know math can be hard."
