Vista Launch Delayed

[FarFarAway]

Vista has been put back until January 2007, the BBC reports today:

It's not the optimal situation, to be launching the next-generation version of Windows right after the big holiday sales season

w00t more time for MS to make Vista even worse... :freak:

longer it gets delayed, longer it is till everything requires it and i get pushed into the upgrade boat against my will, so a big hurrah from me.

I still use win 98 half the time tho so maybe i'm biased/stupid.

Lets face it - by the time they have finished faffing around with it, it will just be a skinned version of XP.

EDIT: ...With a new Windows Media Player

By the time its finished and released, it will be time for its successor to launch

OH WHAT A SHAME!!! STOP EVERYTHING drop what your doing and take a moment to laugh @ Microsh**

Agreed, I believe this will hurt M$, it has been too long a delay already even for 6 flavours of the OS. More peeps turning to Linux perhaps, especially with KDE's jazzy new look not too far away.

'Select' customers will still be getting Vista in November I have been told today, but it goes on general sale in January 2007
