What do Microsoft actually do these days?

Seems to me like they must have more people in their scheduling and planning departments than developers in the trenches these days.

That's the only way I can account for the latest "release date" leaked for "Windows Vista", as they're calling it -- the same new OS that was originally to be released... hmm, let's see, was it last year? or the year before? ;)

Perhaps they're extending it again to allow all those other important new employees more time to do their jobs. You know, the ones they've glued ear-to-wall over at Google. Unlike the rest of MS-ville, those spies employees are really busy.
