Vista 2007. Fire the leadership now!
 

It certainly sounded like Microsoft leadership committed to us, our customers, our partners, and our shareholders that Vista would be out in 2006. --

Slip! --

We should have asked for more details around the "or else" part of that commitment.

completly missed out the issue that once people go OS X Tiger, they never come back

And currently people are going OS X bigtime with the new Mac Book and the 17" one is not even out yet.

what do you consider "big time"?

Last time I checked Apple was gaining market share in the Desktop and Laptop market, especially new buyers who are trying out a Mac. Considering the longer lifetime of a Mac due to the better OS, it means a lot of lost buyers to MS every month they postpone Vista.
