Why Windows Vista is gettin late to release?

well, I think that's good. Since it would mean that Microsoft has finally realized not to release a post-Beta software as a released software. They finally realized that they should wait a bit minute than releasing a buggy software like XP.

ok, i have been using computers with windows since 3.1, and every operating system has had so many bugs right off the hop ... i know they are working with vista so it doesn't, but so far their track record speaks louder than the hype.\n\nAlso, I am very content with XP.  I have loved it from day one and at this point in my computer usage life, I just want to stay with something that is proven and I like.  In the past, I have always been one of the first to try new software, new versions, new O/S, but lately, what I am experiencing and seeing in the "new" stuff is that it is bloated, has features that aren't really needed, and in many cases, is dumbed down to the least common denominator of user.  (speaking specifically here of paintshop pro 10 and 11, but there are others as well).  For the first time ever, I find myself preferring older versions of programs, because all too often they are better than their successors.\n\nIn fact, I am so against getting Vista that I am purchasing a new computer this year, rather than waiting as planned, so that I DON'T get Vista!

If by SP3 you mean Service Pack 3, that my friend will not be released until 2007.  Yes, Vista will be out before Windows XP SP3 is.

Media Player 11 (beta) is available from Microsoft right now, http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/default.mspx however Windows Vista has been delayed yet again, past the many revised launch dates and will now be released in "early" 2007 but not January as originally proposed.  A Beta 2 version of Vista is already out for IT professionals and MSDN subscribers.  A consumer Beta 2 is supposedly due at some point before Vista launches (whenever that is).

The patch has already been released, check Windows Update, if nothing shows for your system, you already have the patch, it was released earlier today.

That's simple.  It does more.  Windows XP with SP2 has a firewall which also slows things down.  \n\nWatch out, Windows Vista will be much slower.  Again, it does more. \n\nI prefer to pick my own anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall solutions.  I uninstall ALL messenger thing that I do not use.  I minimize the Startup programs.   \n\nGood luck

That will be Windows Vista (codename Longhorn), originally scheduled for 2003 but was barely introduced for preview in mid-2005. It is scheduled to be released mid-2006. Screen shots are available on the Microsoft website.

Vista won't be out until early 2007.\n\nThe upside of waiting is that you won't have to pay the upgrade fee for Vista if you decide you want it.  That'll save you somewhere between $75 and $150 (I'm guessing).\n\nThe other upside of waiting is that computers always get faster, better, cheaper over time.  So, for the same price or less, than a computer today, you'll get a slightly better computer tomorrow.  Dual core computers may get to the point where they are just several hundred dollars.  Or that laptop you've had your eye on may drop another $100 in price by then.\n\nYou won't be left behind.  People will be running Windows XP for many years to come.  You can always buy an upgrade if you feel left behind.\n\nSo, the question is this.  Do you NEED a computer now or can you get buy with the computer you have now.  If you are running out of disk space, need to upgrade to be able to use MP3 players, or just find your computer intolerably slow because of the CPU and you've already upgraded the memory, then go for it -- buy a new computer today.  You should be able to upgrade to Vista in the future if you want.\n\nHowever, if you really just WANT a new computer now, then tough it out and wait another 8 or 9 months.  I was going to build a home theater PC (HTPC) this year but I don't NEED it so I'm going to wait until Vista comes out.  The advantage is that it'll cost me less to get that terabyte of storage I've been wanting and I'm hoping AMD has some lower cost dual core CPUs by then.

Windows Vista is the next major version of Microsoft Windows, the proprietary operating system developed by Microsoft. Prior to the announcement of the Vista name on July 22, 2005, it was known by its codename Longhorn, after the Longhorn Saloon, a popular bar in Whistler, British Columbia. According to Microsoft, the scheduled release date for Windows Vista is currently November 2006 for business editions, and January 2007 for consumer editions[1]. These release dates come more than five years after the release of Windows XP, Microsoft's current consumer and business operating system, making this the longest time span between releases of Windows. Vista will be one of the most substantial updates in the history of Windows in terms of new features and under-the-hood changes, and is thought to be the largest and most costly software development project in the history of computing.\n\nwell the requirement like min 256 MB RAM 3GB hard disk for installation files and must graphics card make it very costly for home and pc user.So in the begining when in 2006 nov it wil release.its a costly affair but graphics and user interface is highly improved so its worth to have vista if u have good money in pocket.

They haven't "officially" released Vista out to a world wide beta.  If you want to get a copy, you will have to use some of the "black market" methods.

Now, a version will be available for corporate customers from November 2006, while the public will have to wait until January 2007 for the new operating system.\n\nBBC News\n\nAs for betas, don't bother. Vista is said to be the most processor munching version of Windows yet. Only the latest computers will run it. However if your really desperate try a forum or join Microsoft MSDN subscription service and they will give it to you for free.

At the moment it's unclear. Back when it was still known by the codename "Longhorn," Vista was scheduled to be released as early as 2003. Obviously, they missed that date, and they've missed several more deadlines since then.\n\nCurrently, Microsoft says that it will ship for businesses in November 2006 and personal use (i.e. on store shelves) in January 2007.\n\nKnOpPiX - "Windows Vista Capable PC" and "Windows Vista Premium Ready PCs" aren't versions of Vista, they're essentially seals of approval that PCs for sale now can get. They indicate that a customer can buy the PC now, and it will be powerful enough to run Vista whenever it comes out. "Vista Capable" PCs can only display the basic, scaled-back interface... in other words, you don't get all the fancy effects and stuff, and it'll look something like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Windows_Vista_Basic.png. "Vista Ready" PCs are more powerful and will be able to run Vista with all its bells and whistles, meaning it looks more like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Windows_Vista_Aero.png.\n\nThere are actually going to be six different editions of Vista, compared to the two that XP launched with, "Home" and "Professional." Vista will have Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate. You can see the different features for each here: http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/winvista_editions_final.asp.

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.
