Microsoft has revealed a general release date for its upcoming operating system Vista - 5 December, 2006. Speaking to IT professionals, parliamentarians and senior law-enforcement officers at the Parliament and Internet conference in London on Thursday, Microsoft revealed its release plans. "We will officially launch Vista, Microsoft Office 2007 and Exchange 2007 on 5 December," said David Hipwell, a Windows client sales professional at Microsoft. On a very, very related note, the EC says that Vista will not be delayed due to regulatory issues. Also, the Shell: Revealed weblog has an item explaining why Aero Basic looks the way it looks. Update: ZDNet has removed the release date story, and since they are being rude by not offering an explanation, I have no idea what is going on.

I looked at the site that explains why Aero looks like Aero or whatever and the first thing that struck me - they're still using Notepad to show it off. In context it's probably the best thing to do, but... there's just something wrong with all the "next-gen hype" and still having to show the same ancient app (and I bet it still chokes on anything more than 500k in size). That feels wrong.
