Industry columnist and blogger John C. Dvorak (pictured) has summarized recent coverage and angles relating to an alleged uproar within Microsoft over the most recent delay of the Windows Vista (formerly Longhorn) operating system. This uproar has many within Microsoft calling for the ouster of company icon and CEO Steve Ballmer.

The outcry started shortly after the news that Windows Vista would be delayed yet again, apparently prompted primarily by security concerns, the long-time bete noir of Microsoft Windows and the key communications programs (Outlook, Outlook Express, and IE) that support it.

Dvorak's recent summary ties together several recent stories and observations, covering a story that is likely to keep growing as the full ramifications of the latest delay become more clear.
