Microsoft has suddenly cancelled their PDC conference - here's what Microsoft Watch has to say about that:

In the past, Microsoft aligned developer conferences around new operating system releases -- with Windows Server 2008 being the right candidate and the right time, given Microsoft's stated intentions to deliver the software this year.

My reaction: PDC cancellation likely foreshadows a delay in Windows Server 2008 release to manufacturing. Microsoft already delayed "Viridian" virtualization software, which is closely tied to Windows Server 2008. It's hardly a stretch to presume, with PDC's cancellation, something is amiss with Windows Server 2008.

There's no way this can be spun as good news, and I think it's a sign that Windows has just gotten too big for anyone to understand. It's time For MS to do what Apple did with OS X - start over.
