Re: ‘Fiji’ on track to debut before Windows 7
All versions of office and windows go in numerical order... Office is upto Office 12, and MS are skipping 13 and going to 14 (pretty sad a tech company is supersticious)

The whole VMC team was stolen for the Zune 2.5 update, hence Fiji never shipped on date. Ive now heard from a number of sources before Christmas this year. And Ive also heard that the VMC team is back onto the Fiji update.

Its also now called by a different name... CBF'd finding it now...

On the release cycle it seems to be going by their entertainment lines, EG twice a year update (yes I know it hasnt been that, but it appears to be going like how Zune and Xbox live is).

As for being out of band, it needs to be IMO, or it wont keep up. Even if it gets one interim release 18 months after the OS release thats fine, but digital media cant wait 3 years for an update.
