Hi,

The last thing I heard from Microsoft, they were planning to release SP1 by
the end of March and were on track to meeting this date.

Any news or updates on this?


Cheers,
JT

The only thing Microsoft has stated is first half 2005:

Jupiter,

I watched a webcast around end of feb/start of march. The guy from Microsoft
said it would be released on that date. He also said Microsoft had already
deployed in house and were well on track to meeting that date.

Do you think he was making that up?

Who is "he" ?
Post a link to the webcast.
Microsoft is normally very careful not to be specific about future events
since so many things can happen to change the schedule.

Sorry didn't catch the name, however take a look for yourself...

http://msevents.microsoft.com/cui/r.aspx?t=4&c=en-us&r=5702995

In particular, 'Slide 21' will confirm what I said. It's quite funny, he
said the new motto is that they are hard core about meeting the release
dates :-)

"...as long as we remain on schedule"
Thus there is no guarantee of the date mentioned.
It is unusual for a specific date to be public mentioned this early.

I doubt that he was, but you have to understand two things.

1) MVPs are not Microsoft employees.
2) Microsoft's website will only tell us the 1/2 of 2005

If what you (other poster) is saying is true that Microsoft is well underway
in deploying in-house, it means that they dog-fooding their own product
looking for things you and I never want to see in our environment (blue
screens of death).  If they find serious flaws, they still have time to fix
before the June 2005 date.  If they find none and they get done early, then
bully for us because it means we see the final bits a little sooner.  Either
way, I would prefer it being "right" than rushed.
