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.

I just got this from my CallForHelpTV newsletter about Windows Vista; Windows Vista is undoubtedly the most eagerly awaited software release of the past year. And staying true to form, Microsoft has pushed the release date back a few times. As the projected release dates have drawn nearer, was always an expectation that a delay announcement isn't far off. However, it appears the wait is almost over... really... probably. \nVista beta testers who reported one or more bugs during the development were given access to the final release as of yesterday. In two weeks, the final release will be available to volume license customers. If you're interested in getting your hand on a stand alone copy to install on your existing computer, you still have to wait until January 30. \n\nI hope this helps.

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!

Yes, it called VISTA. Go here for details:\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/default.aspx\n\nBut don't wait for it yet. To get the most out of it you need a high spec PC (especially a good graphics card). Wait for the second release it will be much more stable and the number of bugs will be reduced.

It will be released in sumemr 2006 to about 2 million users.  The broad public will get it in January 2007.\n\n\nMicrosoft dropped a bombshell yesterday with a press release that says: "Microsoft Corp today confirmed that Windows Vista, the next generation of the Windows® client operating system, is on target to go into broad consumer beta to approximately 2 million users in the second quarter of 2006. Microsoft is on track to complete the product this year, with business availability in November 2006 and broad consumer availability in January 2007."

Don't expect anything exciting from MSFT on 2007.\n\nYes I know they are rolling out Vista.  EVERYONE knows they are rolling out Vista.  The revenue and profit expectations are already factored into the price.\nZune? Forget it.  No buzz there.\n\nMSFT is a laggard, and unless there is a significant development  or new product, it will be dead money.

Very little is for 98, Microsoft doesn't even support it anymore.  You need a new operating system.  Probably need a new computer, too.  Windows Vista is comping out around January 06 and requires a good deal of computing power.  My advice is to decide what you want to use your computer for and go to Dell and get one readymade that will do the things you want - it's cheapest and most reliable.

Vista being still a Beta software has very limited driver support.\n\nhttp://www.2wire.com/?p=266

It's due out in the second half of 2007 (over a year from now).  Note - this is Microsoft and they have been known to change their minds, either failing to release it at all or pushing it back.\n\nAs for Vista - It's not due out until next year (for home users) and THAT could be delayed.  (Microsoft, again, is KNOWN for pushing back their release dates).  I wouldn't run it until the first service pack is released - or a year.  Whichever is first.  Unless you WANT to be a guinea pig for Microsoft.  I mean more than most people.

No.  I won't try it until it been out of beta testing for at least a year.  Too many potential problems that only real users under real conditions will find.  And then Microsoft will have to come up with the patches and fixes.  Look at XP..... we're on SP2 and there's talk MS will be releasing SP3 because of the delay in getting Vista off the ground.  No thanks, I don't have the time or desire to do Microsoft's field testing.  Especially since they ain't gonna be paying me for the privilege of messing up a computer.

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.

Nowhere. You are not a webmaster or a technician.  So you will have to wait a Buy Vista when it comes out later on this year.

Windows Vista is coming in early 2007.  You will be able to upgrade from XP Home to Vista Basic.  Vista has many flavors such as Basic, Ultimate etc.

Just like XP there are going to be a few versions of Vista, The current beta version of Vista that I am using is very buggy and the driver support is not very good (having to decorate my own). Vista is going to have the same problems as XP 64, What I mean by that is that it will take maybe a year or two for the hardware and software makers to catch up. But it is a good looking OS. With most Windows Software they never really get replaced just placed alongside a different version.
