Analyst: Vista Might Be Delayed Until Easter

The launch of Microsoft’s new Vista operating system has been a long time coming. Missing the important pre-Christmas slot earned the software company a lot of criticism from partners and customers but Microsoft has committed to shipping the OS in January. But now some analysts claim that a number of ‘events’ in the IT industry have made it more likely that Microsoft may delay the launch of Vista again until at least May next year. The reservations hinge around a research note, ‘Events aligning to make Vista delay more likely’, published by analyst Gartner late last week, and take in market, political and industry issues that the researcher believes are beginning to stack up.
