I went to staples today and they don't have any copies of vista available.
Why isn't it available yet?

It is scheduled for availability on Jan 30. That is the launch day for
consumer editions. The Business edition released on Nov 30 for enterprise
customers.

Get in line January 30th, the release date of the retail version.

You and a few hundred other loony "early adopters" can keep each other
company. Wink.

Because it's not on the shelves.

You didn't show that such a promise was made in the old thread and you can't
show it now.
Vista is available, but of course it is not available to all.
Just because your narrow definition of available means you should be able to
pick it up at Futureshop, does not mean others should comply with your
personal definitions.

Vista is easily available to you now, subscribe to TechNet or MSDN.
Or wait like most everyone else.

That sounds like a factual statement.
It Vista does publically release as stated, does that mean we can call you a
liar as you suggest others are liars?

Mike Brannigan, a Microsoft employee, guaranteed that Vista would be
available this year.

And it is, I am running Vista Ultimate RTM here, did he guarantee EVERYONE
would have it this year, or just guaranteed it this year? Big
Difference....
