I see no point first of all to replying to that comment. We guys know how we are progressing. As you mentioned, we have certain goals for each release, launch schedule is fixed which sometimes do get postponed but still its all planned nicely. Now if it coincides with the date of launch of Windows 7 then its pretty obvious that it wasn't any strategic move as to fail the launch of Windows 7. Those folks who favor Microsoft windows will anyway won't give a damn to the releases from open source. Same way I think Open Source shouldn't care much about the launch of Windows 7 as if we succeed in making a great OS, then eventually it will automatically garner the much needed attention.

But isn't is obviously wrong?

Should we comment on the blog that "we have nothing to do with windows 7 release
and we are follow our own principles and work-flow irrespective of
what m$ or other vendors does" ?
