Vista schedule stays the undefined course

For a product that is ridden by launch delays and features being pulled, it's no surprise that Windows Vista's beta release schedule too is being changed on a regular basis.

The much expected beta 2 of the application is no longer scheduled to be released, Microsoft has disclosed. In stead the company will stick to releasing its CTPs: community technology previews.

The CTPs too are subject to changes however. When Microsoft first started talking about the releases, they were supposed to be released on a monthly basis. But Microsoft skipped the November release and now is forfeiting on the January release too.

Microsoft has a lot to learn when it comes to setting expectations and living up to them.
