Bill Gates recently stated that he felt Vista had an 80% chance of shi ing in January. He even said he'd be glad to delay it if beta testers say so. A arently, this latest talk of Vista getting kicked back yet again was the last straw on Wil Shipley's back, as he has offered a $10,000 bet to Bill Gates that Vista doe 't ship by January. As you can see from his post, Wil doe 't have a very large ot in his heart for Microsoft, and - discu ion of whether Bill will even see this, let alone re ond, aside - I think it's a riot that someone has called out the world's largest (and, unofficially: most tardy to the party) software pimp on the planet like this.
By Gates' claim of 80%, Wil has 4 to 1 odds. Anyone feel like starting up a Gue VistasReleaseDate.com? Oh wait, Microsoft already did that.
