More delays for Vista?

A few sites are reporting today that Microsoft is being cagey again about Windows Vista release dates. Macworld reports:

At its annual Financial Analyst Meeting on Thursday, Kevin Johnson, co-president of Microsoft's Platforms & Services Division, said that while Vista development remains on track for now, Microsoft won't ship the OS until the company thinks it's ready.

"There is no data that says we're not going to make the November business availability," Johnson said, speaking to analysts and media on Microsoft's Redmond, Washington, campus. However, he said that the company continues to evaluate Vista "milestone by milestone" and will ship the product "when it's ready" rather than according to a hard and fast schedule.

Whether they are just being cautious because they've been burnt so many times with Vista release dates already remains to be seen.
