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?

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.

 

[David [MS]]

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.

MacOS?

Tom Lake

SuSE? ;-)

[NLWard]

Yep, I've already entered my guess and promptly forgot what I guessed. :-}
So, if I win, which I'm sure I won't, it would be a pleasant surprise.

Thank you people.
I know the release will not be soon but just asked because these days I see
everywhere (many sites) what Vista has /has not ...bla-bla-bla...

The most reliable OS till now -Windows XP- is going to be the most used ,I
think ,because even when Vista will be released , it will probably cost more
than XP and because Vista will be new and can't be so reliable like the
previous XP.

No matter , thanks again !

I differ from that. I used XP until I installed W2K3. My opinion is that W2K3 is a heck of a lot more reliable and stable. But again this is my opinion

Ubuntu? Kubuntu?

Yet more versions of the OS, start letter 'L'.. stand in the corner of the
class with Malke until such time as you decide to behave.. :

They are aiming to have it in the shops by the Christmas season.

 

[Andre Da Costa]

Agreed, Server 2003 is no more reliable than XP in Workgroup mode, all they
did was applied the latest update fixes and turned off some of the bells and
whistles.
