I just commented on it in my <a href="http://4sysops.com/archives/windows-vista-service-pack-1-release-date-feb-15/"new post</a rel="nofollow">.

I cant remember), if and only if the TAP-paticipants approve the RTM escrow-build. I guess that the TAP-participants have from january the 16. to the 23. to decide. The Swedish Microsoft website has a counter that says that today there are 41 days to release, i guess that means that the Swedish translation agency have done their job in about 40 days. You can get to the link from here: http://www.nullsession.com/?p=97 In Denmark, Microsoft are holding a prelaunch event on thursday the 24. of january, perhaps it is a coincidense because they havent announced dates for the real launch-event yet. The launch-event for Vista last year were announced 14 days in advance, eventhough the software were available 3 months before (i guess they decided to wait for the Danish translation). Bob Muglias email from yesterday surprised me a bit, i thought he would either announce W2K8 or the date it would be RTW (Ready To Web) for business-customers. I dont work for Microsoft, i am not in the TAP-program, i am just a customer and are guessing.
