SlinkySausage writes "Microsoft has admitted, in an email to the press,
that 'some customers may be waiting to adopt Windows Vista because
they've heard rumors about device or application compatibility issues,
or because they think they should wait for a service pack release.' The
company is now pleading with customers not to wait until the release of
SP1 at the end of the year, launching a 'fact rich' program to try to
convince them to 'proceed with confidence'. The announcement coincides
with an embarrassing double-backflip: Microsoft had pre-briefed
journalists that it was going to allow home users to run Vista basic
and premium under virtual machines like VMWare, but it changed its mind
at the last minute and pulled the announcement."
