Microsoft has officially announced to ActiveWin the release date of Windows Vista. Windows Vista will be made officially available to consumers in January 2007, while making Windows Vista available to businesses only in November 2006. In addition, there will be a feature complete Beta 2 CTP released in the next quarter. "...we need a few more weeks, quality is paramount...we are on the home stretch here...we need to know what kind of testing that needs to be done in order that this is the most secure and safe system" and "quality is till the top thing..and I am going to stay here until things are right...it will be done this year", said Jim Allchin, co-president, Platforms & Services Division, Microsoft regarding the delay.

| How did they notify you? Strange that it will be available for businesses before consumers.... |

#3, Not strange at all. Large OL customers have already committed budget and MS is working to support the billions that in aggregate, that represents. Similarly, these same OL customers have already decided on systems configurations - so the builds will already have the drivers and support slipped to them, as well as enterprise applications, etc... as these new machines roll-out, and users log in, the OPK experience they have is fully automated and in about 15 minutes the users is up and working - printers, email, apps, all of it.
Since they are known variables, the builds don't have to account for widely different consumer choices. This slip, as I see it, is actually MS paying back its partners in the OEM and retail spaces - who, against a new driver model and new API's, needed more time. MS is giving them that time. in no small way, MS fell on its sword for its partners and I suspect that they will remember this and reward MS with continued support and by adhering to the WHQL that will help make Vista truly revolutionary in many ways. "Privately, I am hoping they read my posts and those like them and are adding a huge "Big Blue Turn the candy OFF" button..." right in the middle of the OPK routine...but that is just a private thought offered for a laugh. I am very proud of them for doing this - that says a lot about all of them at Microsoft - they are truly good people - in my opinion. |

| I guess Dell and the other big boys will have to start offering free upgrades to Vista when it becomes available in order to push those computers out the door this Christmas season |

#5 Don't be a moron. Microsoft is selling a ton of MCE 2005 PC's. Why release Vista when they can sell a zillion MCE 2005 PC's at Chrsitmas and then sell them upgrades in January!
http://news.zdnet.com/2100-3513_22-6052115.html "U.S consumers bought more Windows Media Center-equipped PCs than the standard edition of Windows XP last month, and sales of Media Center will reach 10 million by the end of March, a Microsoft executive said Tuesday." |

| Why do MS actually issue a release date? since the date is always getting push back they should say something like "you will get it when we can ship it". I know that a lot of companies try to "schedule" their upgraded based on release dates. But come on, this stuff is always getting pushed back |

At the same time, you also have to rein yourself in and stay mainly focused on business related topics. This also depends on your own personality, your niche and the audience you are targeting. You should not, however, blog about anything that you wouldn't write in a business email.
