I've learned to take these kinds of things with a large grain of salt but according to
vnunet.com:
"Microsoft has revealed the
projected release dates of Windows Vista and Internet Explorer 7 in a phone conversation with vnunet.com's
French sister publication SVM, the publication claims."
""Beta 2 of Windows Vista, Microsoft's future operating system, is slated for release in the first week of December
2005 at best," a posting dated 29 August said. "The final release has been pushed back until September or October
2006."
Beta 2 of IE 7 is set for September 2005 followed by the release of the final version in December, the story
continues. The product launch will coincide with Vista beta 2. Vista beta 1 was released to testers in July."
A spokeswoman at Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond would neither confirm nor deny the report."
