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.

Aero basic is just another one of Microsoft's clashing themes. People bitch about consistency on the Linux desktop but Microsoft is no better, in fact they are worse in many respects. At least all Gnome apps look like they belong in Gnome. Microsoft cannot even make its own apps look like they belong.
