Microsoft’s Allchin Tells Developers to Get Ready for Vista

Jim Allchin, co-president of Microsoft’s Platforms and Services Division, has sent an open letter to developers citing the ‘tremendous opportunity’ that Windows Vista gives them, adding that the time is now to get ready for the operating system. “If you want to ride the wave we’re creating with Windows Vista, the best way is to have your application ready by the time we ship,” Allchin said in the open letter, which appeared Sept. 15 on the Windows Vista Developer Center site. “And that is very soon.” Meanwhile, Microsoft and the EU keep tiptoeing around each other when it comes to Vista and possible antitrust consequences. And if that wasn’t enough, a Cisco exec says Vista is scary.
