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.

Well, I sure hope they work on performance between now and then (as well as the graphics cards companies need to work on their drivers), because I couldn't even get CS:S to run at a decent speed and I have a 256MB 6800GS! If people see that their high-end rigs that they paid lots of green for suddenly aren't so hot anymore after installing the new Windows XP skin that's coming out this December (for $99 for the stripped-as-hell version and $160 for the half-assed-somewhat-decent version), they're going to be pissed!
