New assuredly so
can you say [link|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1681636,00.asp|Software Assurance]? So far, the money Microsoft has received in SA licenses has resulted in a net loss to customers. [link|http://minimsft.blogspot.com/2006/03/vista-2007-fire-leadership-now.html#c114309086992411929|Apparently], some of those licenses are due to expire at the end of the year. So Microsoft has to ship something before the end of the year or risk their largest customers suing them for fraud. Which explains why Vista will be released to corporate customers before it is available to everyone else.
Have fun,
