I don’t know about you, but I was really looking forward to the new release of Windows to replace XP. All the talk of more stability, greater security, and a more streamlined interface got my IT juices flowing. Now it looks like we won’t be able to wet our appetites until next year. The only saving grace is that Windows Explored 7 which will be in Vista when it is released in going to be released on time. Pheeeeew!!

I’ve included a couple of news release clipping for your information:
No Windows Vista PCs until 2007
Microsoft’s OS update to miss the holiday season after all…

Microsoft on Tuesday announced a delay of Windows Vista that will mean PCs with the new operating system won’t go on sale until January.
The software maker said it will still wrap up development of the operating system this year and make it available to volume-licensing customers in November. However, Microsoft said a delay of a few weeks in Vista’s schedule meant that some PC makers would be able to launch this year and others would not. As a result, Windows chief Jim Allchin said the company is delaying the broad launch of the product until January.

More delays revealed today in the release schedule for Windows Vista hint that problems with getting the new operating system out the door may be broader than Microsoft has so far allowed.
