In case you don't know who he is. He is the new head of Windows group at Microsoft. The previous guy, Jim Alchin, while I'm sure a great guy and good at his job made a major mistake with Vista. Well before it came out they were promising a whole list of features and performance that it just turned out could not be delivered. This is one of the main reasons Vista isn't liked so much. It is a perception.

Steve Sinofsky is keeping the new Windows 7 info very close to his vest. He is making sure that if they say Windows 7 will be or do something that it does that and more. Actually, I think he even said that his goal was to Under promise and over deliver.

So, I'm sure this mistake applies to iRex. When will companies, espesially those that involve software ever learn?
