When will vista come out?

Vista Beta 1 is indeed out. Usually Beta 2 means just about any member of the general public can get the product for promotional reasons and such. Unfortunately, Microsoft is running this one a little differently.\nDuring this quarter, they should have the Beta 2 equivalent version out to members of the Microsoft Software Developers Network and other members of the technical community. Then, sometime in the second computer, the public should be able to get their hands on it. The actual final product should be out in time for the holiday rush. But then again Vista keeps getting pushed back, so there is really no telling!

Probably never. Windows Vista (late 2006) will come out before Windows XP SP3 will be needed.

I don't think so but if you wait a few months they might release a version for Vista.\nUntil then stick to XP.

Name of the next workstation OS will be "Vista" (was codenamed 'Longhorn' while in pre-release).\n\nThere's already been some debate in 'Answers' about when it will be released: my gut tells me mid-2006, based on delays they've had so far.

Windows Vista is the next version of the Windows operating system after XP.  It is due to be released early in 2007 and is currently in limited beta testing.  It was intended to be released before the end of this year, but instead it is delayed to 1Q 2007.  Instead PC manufacturers will be selling 'Vista Capable' machines with a little Vista sticker and possibly a free upgrade with the PC.\n\nThe main features are added security, new hardware accelerated translucent UI, new digital rights management, etc.  You can read more about it on the Microsoft website.\n\nI'm currently running the beta version and so far I'm intrigued but not necessarily sold on everyone needing the new version.  It requires that you have a video accelerator as a minimum to do most things, and a relatively fast processor.  Most likely you'll need new hardware to run it unless you bought your PC very recently.

Thats part of what MS Vista is geared towards. But your going to have to wait for some of the functionality to come out since the first version of MS Vista is not going to have some of the functionality they talked about. I'd wait a couple of versions before buying it.

Windows Vista is the next version of Microsoft Windows operating system, superseding Windows XP. It was previously known by its codename Longhorn, after the Longhorn Saloon, a popular bar in Whistler, British Columbia (see the other Microsoft codenames). The name "Vista" was unveiled on July 22, 2005. According to sources, the scheduled release date for Windows Vista is July 23, 2006. That release date is only scheduled for PC vendors so that systems will be made Vista-ready before Christmas. The general public availability is projected to be around late September to early October 2006, five years after the release of Windows XP, making this the longest time span between releases of desktop versions of Microsoft's Windows operating system.

When you are ready to buy a new system, go to www.stupidcheapcomputers.net.  I buy all of my stuff from them, and everything is Vista ready.\n\nMicrosoft is about to release its latest operating system, Vista, in January.  It’s going to make all of these “bargain” computers nothing but JUNK as soon as it’s released.  The reason that you are seeing so many cheap systems on the market right now is because a lot of them CAN’T RUN Vista and the merchants are trying to dump them as hard and fast as they can before Vista shows up and everyone learns what a piece of crap they were sold for $500 (or whatever).\n\nAnyway, I bought a complete, new system from stupidcheapcomputers.net with a warranty for LESS than it would cost me to build it myself or order a custom one from the manufacturer.  You can use my frequent buyer code: ATX926.  That will get an additional 10% discount at checkout.\n\nI have NEVER had any problems with anything that they have sold me and their customer service is outstanding.  Those guys blow my mind.\n\nGood luck!

< "Mainstream deployment of Vista won't even really begin until 2008, but Microsoft is trying to address issues related to enterprise and consumer issues now," said Gartner analyst Michael Silver. "They'll be careful to craft their announcements to reflect what's definitely going to appear." \n\nOne of Microsoft's Web sites revealed new information about different versions of the company's upcoming operating system, Windows Vista, but was posted prematurely and yanked off the network quickly. \nA page in the company's online help section noted that Microsoft will release eight different editions of the new operating system, although no formal announcements have been made about that plan. \n\nAfter removing the page, Microsoft noted that it would not confirm or deny the information, and will instead continue with its rollout of Vista details, which began months ago and is due to continue until the operating system ships in late 2006. \n\nIndustry Gossip \n\nMedia organizations that perused the Web site before it was removed noted that Microsoft would be offering six different editions of Vista for a U.S. and non-European audience. \n\nOne of the editions, reportedly called Windows Starter 2007, will be a stripped-down version of the system that is likely to be targeted at emerging markets that are trying to fight software piracy. \n\nOther editions supposedly include basic and premium versions for home users, and tailored editions for small businesses and large enterprises. \n\nThe Web site also noted that a higher-end product, named Windows Vista Ultimate, will be geared toward gamers and those who use multimedia extensively. \n\nTwo other variations do not include Windows Media Player, and would be targeted for Europe. The creation of these editions would comply with the European Union's antitrust rulings. \n\nFor more information check the site below.

It's "scheduled" to be out at the end of 2006. \n\nHonestly, I'm not expecting it to be fully released until after spring 2007.\n\nYou may be better off getting a Mac. Apple has a GREAT OS that is miles better than Vista, and it's available now on their computers (now using Intel chips.)\n\nWhy wait until 2007 when you can have it all now on a Mac! :-)

Yes, Vista will be worth the wait! However, if you need a new machine now, make sure it is capable of running Vista in the future.\n\nMinimum 512 meg ram, video/graphics card with at least 256 meg. 3.2 GHZ CPU.

It is currently in BETA-1 and CTP (Community Technology Preview).  There is another CTP planned for this week, then BETA-2 is set to be released about the April/May timeframe.  BETA-2 is exciting because MS is putting in all the "features".\n\nRTM is scheduled for holiday season 2006.\n\nAnd to answer your question, I have it.
