Paul Thurrott is reporting that sources close to the beta program over at Microsoft are stating Beta 1 of the much publicized Whistler operating system has slipped two weeks, from October 11th to October 25th. Most likely to be marketed as Windows .NET 1.0, Whistler is not expected to hit store shelves until third quarter 2001. Its successor, codenamed Blackcomb, will be a major upgrade to Windows 2000 with the full .NET features and capabilities. For more information read the story over at WinInformant.
