Microsoft has officially announced to ActiveWin (over a conference call) the release date of Windows Vista. Windows Vista will be made officially 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.

To quote CNN:
"Microsoft said Vista is delayed because it wants to improve overall quality, particularly in security, and that PC makers didn't want the operating system introduced in the middle of holiday sales, because a new version would create instability in the market."
I must say that I find the last sentence a bit odd due to the fact that everyone knows that manufacturers, specifically PC makers, want the new OS to spur sales. Sales in video cards, hard drives, new system, more RAM, etc.
None the less, this is a delay out into 2007 and does indicate a slip from the original intended release (general availability) of 2nd half of 2006.
