New Windows OS wont be released until January 2007. Volume Customers will get it in November of This year.

Microsoft today announced a delay of Windows Vista that will mean PCs with the new operating system won't go on sale until January.

The software maker said it will still wrap up development of the operating system this year and make it available to volume licensing customers in November. However, Microsoft said that a delay of a few weeks in Vista's schedule meant that some PC makers would be able to launch this year and others would not. As a result, Windows chief Jim Allchin said the company is delaying the broad launch of the product until January.

During a conference call earlier today, Windows chief Jim Allchin spoke to reporters and analysts about the Vista delay.

"We needed just a few more weeks, and that put us in a bubble...where some partners would be impacted more than others," Allchin told reporters and analysts.

Let me recall,,,,, Longhorn was supposed to release late '04-early '05.
They are only 2 years late this time. They are getting better.

I can't wait to switch to an OS that redifines bloat and gives the RAM industry reason to celebrate. Thankfully, I have to wait at least until 2007.

Maybe Vista is the OS for PS3 and that's why they're both late!
