Yesterday ActiveWin had the exclusive of Windows Vista's official release date. Today, Microsoft confirmed all that by updating its release schedule and making an official press release. "Microsoft today confirmed that Windows Vista, the next generation of the Windows client operating system, is on target to go into broad consumer beta to approximately 2 million users in the second quarter of 2006. Microsoft is on track to complete the product this year, with business availability in November 2006 and broad consumer availability in January 2007."

some people will rush out and buy it as soon as it is released, these people are sheep and can be ignored.

anyone with a bit of sense will hold back until vista has been proved to be stable, then think about upgrading.

having used the beta versions, I will not be rushing out to get it.

I guess all those early adpoters to any new Linux or Mac OS release could be labled as sheep too I suppose...

not the point... the point is that ALL early adopters of ANY system are sheep..

they should wait until the chosen system has been proven to be stable enough for general use.
