Yukon release pushed back - what about Whidbey?

There have been various stories about Microsoft pushing back the release date of Yukon to the 2nd half of 2004. The question is, does that mean they're pushing back the release date of Whidbey as well? Microsoft seems to talk a lot about these two releases coinciding. And one of those articles implies this as well, but I haven't seen anything definitive. Anyone know?

That would suck.

  • Wouldn't suprise me if that is the reason they are pushing Yukon back, not the other way around :-).

  • I think that the Whidbey tie is hurting the schedule. But from what I know there is still more to do with Yukon also. I think the complexity of these two dependent initiatives is pretty high-- MS is doing the right thing by not rushing the release.

  • Coupling those two massive releases seems like a highly risky project management proposition. I can't even imagine trying to coordinate those two schedules - each by themselves is ridiculously complex. Hopefully they can pull it off. As an ISV I'm vastly more interested in Whidbey than Yukon (I have to write fairly generic platform-independent SQL code anyway), so it would suck if Yukon is holding up the process. Sounds like it's some of both, though.





    That being said, I won't be making any concrete plans around that schedule. Software schedules more than a year out are generally about as reliable as...well...Microsoft software schedules.

  • Can't find a definitive date, but 2nd half of this year seems to be the standard line. Probably means November... Would be nice if they release a beta before the summer.

  • Sehr wertvolle Informationen! Empfehlen!
