Summary: Products that are labeled "7" continue to falter (holes, delays, lack of acceptance, etc.)

THE reality behind Vista 7 suggests that it moves more or less along the same trajectory as Windows Vista (at equivalent times post release). More holes are being patched outside of Windows Update cycles and "Seven's not always Microsoft's lucky number," says a Microsoft booster because there is another major delay (amid deaths of products) affecting Dynamics:

The number 7 isn’t lucky for every Microsoft team.

Microsoft has pushed back its delivery target for its Dynamics NAV “7″ by anywhere from a few months to a year, with final delivery now expected some time during calendar 2011 to 2012.

2012, eh? "7" was hardly a lucky number for Windows Mobile based on press coverage [1, 2, 3, 4]. As regards Vista 7, Microsoft is faking sales numbers [1, 2], just as it did with Vista. "7" is a success only in the eyes (or mouths) of overzealous PR agencies that Microsoft hires to indoctrinate the press. ⬆
