Mid 2009 release date? Guess I will hold off on building a new PC after all . . . though my current machine really needs to be reworked (I think the video card is buggy).

They're shooting for the holiday season of 2009, so Christmas. It's usually the best time to release a new OS (or a new anything for that matter). I get the feeling they might actually hit their release schedule this time, especially since they don't plan on releasing another beta and they only plan to release one release candidate, probably in the first or second quarter of next year. If they manage to get all the features they want into it and it's relatively stable, I can easily see them hitting a christmas '09 release.
