Windows Vista ???

When is Vista going to released?
I have heard it isn't soon and I know it is still in Beta but recently there
are so many advertisements showing different feautures in Vista and it has
special section in MS's site ...Am I missing something?Thanks for the answer.

This year - maybe.

Seeing as Beta 2 still hasn't really been released.. I am not holding my
breath.

What was the wording for the release today.. Oh yeah..

"This build is not beta quality but is being provided as a preview of our
progress towards Beta 2."

I could have sworn I was expecting Beta 2 in January.. February maybe.
*grin*

Ah well - I can wait.

Actually, it should be released sometime in the second half of 2006, many
are presuming October.

MS have been hoping that it may be released in the last quarter of this
year.. the rest of us have learned to wait patiently without holding our
breath..

In the meantime, there is a perfectly good operating system in existence,
available to all, and it's name doesn't start with the letter 'L'.. :-)

MacOS? 8-)

Right now, the best guess is sometime between August 31 and December 1. In
other words, nobody actually knows yet. Not even Microsoft Marketing, which
most likely has the final say.

Hi,

actually, even if MS Marketing knew the release date they wouldn't tell you
because there is a constest about guessing the release date.
