Bob said:Mike Brannigan, a Microsoft employee, guaranteed that Vista would be
available this year.
Bob said:Then its not available.
Bob said:-Microsoft is run by incompetent morons worried by non core functions.
-Microsoft is specifically asking retailers not to presell or preorder.
-My source in Microsoft confirms it will be delayed again. This is the
same source that predicted this latest shipping delay 18 months ago.
Personally, I think your source is a figment of your imagination, but you
can always prove me wrong.
Tom Porterfield said:What was promised was business availability this year, broad general
availability next year. If you have a volume license agreement with MS,
or an MSDN subscription, or a Technet Plus subscription, or want to buy a
business license pack, then you can get Vista right now. That is what has
always been stated officially by Microsoft.
General availability through standard retail channels (stores, with new
PC, etc) is scheduled for January 30, 2007. Again, this is old news. See
this news release from October 13th -

And then this from November 8th which mentions the specific dates for
business availability (November 30, 2006) and worldwide general
availability (January 30, 2007) -

So yes, Vista is available to a large sub-section of Microsoft's customer
base, but not yet general available to everyone.
