You claim the deadline hasn’t passed, yet every source I’ve read says
the deadline was December 15, 2005. I reference the following links:

http://news.zdnet.com/………..

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/…………

http://www.hispanicbusiness.com/news/……….

If you have evidence to the contrary, please post it. I searched your
article for “deadline”, and couldn’t find anywhere an actual date in
the future.



So I don’t understand why you say the deadline hasn’t passed.



In any event, we all know MS is tasked with doing the near impossible.
However, it should be possible for any decent software company whose
source base is more organized than a spaghetti bowl. And that’s really
the whole point. They brought this on themselves.



I mean no disrespect and don’t want to start a flame, but I have
serious questions with your claim about the deadline date. Please
respond if you have some reference that says something different.
