Microsoft did actually withdraw some of that gusto of MinWin. Most likely just to cover themselves and make sure they don't dissapoint. You are most likely correct, but hey, it's something new to play with for a bit.

News stories go each way, even if they read from the same scrap of paper. We have to wait and see. Beta 1 is early 2009 I believe though.
Release date is either late 2009 or Vista release date + 3 years, though Microsoft are saying they won't release untill a Quality bar has been reached.

| At the moment it's mostly just rumour and speculation, with little tit-bits released to the press and hard / software developers to whet peoples appetites. After all they gave away the demo disks at the developers conference, and within 48 hours thay turn up on torrent sites, and so far M$ haven't uttered a word of complaint about piracy. Brilliant free marketing ploy. TBH I'll give this a miss for now, and wait for the final release, whenever that may be. Surely you all remember the debacle about the Vista Alpha, Beta and RTM1 releases and what complete dogs they were, and in no way reflected the finished release.
If anything, they put people off Vista and led to a lot of the continuing apathy towards it. No way am I going to act as an unpaid Beta tester for M$ again.
