Final release date?

So what's the date or period for the final release of Whistler?

they said April, but you'll be seeing an RTM of about July or August, ready for retail in the early Fall.

I doubt whistler will make its due date but most likely will appear somewhere on Feb 2002. They are usually always 1 month off.

haha, Feb 2002?? Andrew, your nuts buddy. If it takes them that long, that's great, more time to fix stuff. But Feb 2002 is pushing it, I doubt it very much.

I too think August is more realistic. Take a look at previous MS OS releases.

Windows 2000 was supposed to be released in autum 1999...and we got it in feb 2000. It's not unlikely we'll see a delay.

A delay yes, but not Feb 2002....

WRONG! Windows 2000 was RTM in December IIRC. I know I had the RTM waaaaayyy before the Retail.

 

Besides Whistler is Windows 2000 Enhanced not a totally new OS.
