Through my Windows, I see there is no Vista on the horizon for 2006. Whatever the Core of the decision to delay, it could offer a tremendous opportunity for Apple.
I tend to agree with the statement in the PC World article saying

I receive an email message from Panda Software usually everyday. I started receiving these messages when I downloaded the Panda software to try as my virus software. It was this software that corrupted my PC and caused me a have to rebuild it. While I would never use this software again, I have kept the [...]
