So while Vista's delayed again — "Arrange the deck chairs this way, guys, we'll never sink now!" — let's see how all the OS-makers are faring with their deadlines.

Windows Vista: Now due in 2007. Honest.
OS X: Version 10.4.6 should come out soon, making Mac's OS a little better for gaming. Granted, the only Mac games out are World of Warcraft, Age of Empires and Photoshop.
Linux: Popular Linux-based OS Ubuntu is just a touch behind schedule, says pro-Linux site Linux-Watch. But in the meantime, shouldn't you be coding your own?
Solaris: OS's? You don't need no stinkin' OS's. Come play on Sun's grid.
