Vista Delayed Again

The unthinkable has happened: Microsoft has delayed Windows Vista yet again.

Jim Allchin, co-president of Microsoft’s Platforms & Services Division, announced on March 21 during a conference call that Microsoft is now planning to roll out Windows Vista in two stages.

The business, volume-licensed versions of Vista will now ship in November 2006, as many expected. But the consumer, retail versions of Vista won’t be ready until January 2007.

Until March 21, Microsoft officials had said Vista would be ready to ship in time for the holiday 2006 selling season.

    Probably has something to do with the minimum requirements and the fact that its bogged down with visuals and security.

    There is always a new beta built being released if you do some searching for it to install. Most likely you have to wait for your fav programs to move over to it.

    Who is dying to get their hands on Vista anyways? No one I know. If I want a copy I’ll head over to my local PC and find said copy without much looking. Doubt I’ll have a computer good enough to run it though so why bother?
