Windows Vista delay is explained in 1975 book
Are things at Microsoft not going well? It seems that they are sending out hazy signs of distress from behind Microsoft's closely guarded walls. On Wednesday, Microsoft announced a major reorganization that brought new managers into the Windows group. On Friday, the company said it would also delay the newest version of Microsoft Office so it could launch at the same time as Vista. Looks like something was not working out too well for them!
Translated into plain English, Microsoft sees itself as a bear caught in a bureaucratic tar pit -- an analogy Brooks used in his 31-year-old book. ``No one thing seems to cause the difficulty -- any particular paw can be pulled away. But the accumulation of simultaneous and interacting factors brings slower and slower motion,'' Brooks wrote. Brooks' analysis doesn't seem at all dated, other than his obsolete assumption that software is only created by men, and much of the book seems relevant to Windows Vista.
