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.

People seem to forget that Microsoft puts out a lot more products in a lot more product ranges than Apple does. Microsoft does operating systems, office suites (on 2 platforms), developer tools, databases, gaming consoles, games, hardware, etc. etc.
Apple does a lot less (no, iWork can in no way be compared to MS Office, no matter how much I like it).
I am sure you are aware of Final Cut Studio and other professional applications from Apple. These products are certainly not as "trivial" as iLife and iWork.
One thing I will admit is that MS has a larger and more diverse customer base than Apple. Their testing process is definitely far more complex than Apple's. Their products also have to satisfy a more diverse audience. However, MS have far more resources available as well.
