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.

No no no. My friend, Xubuntu, Xfce 4.4, will be fast and will support the GTK themes, and will have a new filesystem which will be fast and pretty. When all those people upgrade to Windows Vista, if they want to load Linux on their old hardwares, they probably will be able to use a nice OS for free. A nice OS that will probably be faster on the old hardware than Windows Vista will be on the new hardware. For the first time in the OS history, Linux will beat Windows in many fronts. I recall a time when Linux needed more memory than Windows to run decently. Now Linux will need less memory than Windows. Linux will need any VGA card. Etc.
Windows Vista will be a fine OS. But I can program for Linux will enough so I don't care about Avalon, .NET, XAML, etc. They can bloat their OS all that they want, but Linux has reached a point that Windows doesn't matter anymore. You will see! Try to use Windows Vista on your current hardware if you dare. :-) Slowwwwwww... motion...
