Star Vista General Release Date Revealed
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 13th Oct 2006 14:14 UTC
Windows 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.

I thought the same thing. I was happy with Win ME... (I know, happy with ME, it was a long time ago, I was young and foolish etc).

Anyway, I was happy with ME but in the end I upgraded to XP.

Now, although I have had the last 4 betas of Vista, I will not be going with the final version.
There is not enough in it for me. all the "innovations" that Microsoft have been advertising, are already in my installs of Linux.

This is not FUD, but Microsoft seriously needs to try to catch up with where Linux was, last year.

Superkaramba
Beagle
XGL/Compiz
Bonjour

All the above run perfectly on my Ubuntu, and on my Suse installs, but they are the exact same features that Microsoft is pushing.

I have been hoping that Microsofts versions of the above will be better, but unfortunatley, they are a disappointment.

And where is the program to beat Amarok ?
