Windows Vista release date put back... again
Shocking news from Microsoft - the launch of Windows Vista has been put back to January 2007.
Originally planned to be released way back in 2003, Vista is following the time-honoured tradition of delayed Microsoft operating systems.
This latest setback means Vista PCs won't be in stores in the run-up to Christmas, which will no doubt disappoint both retailers and customers.
You can read more about Vista's release woes on PCW's news site as well as our previous blogs on the six versions of Vista and a report suggesting half of all PCs won't be able to run the Vista interface.
I Don't think it realy matters that much when Vista is released as long as it is stable and satisfies the users needs and meets modern day demands, as long as it takes is as long as it will be.

I'm sick of these half-baked release dates. They know when their products will be ready for deployment. Don't string along your customers for 3 years saying "It'll be out next quarter....".

well everybody is excited, so am I. i'm very disappointed because i've been waiting for this OS since i was in college.
but of course microsoft can only do what they can right?
most likely they are delaying the release for a good reason... :)
