The launch of the consumer version of Windows Vista, Microsoft's new operating system, could be pushed back past the stated January launch date, Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer said today.

The operating system was due to be launched this year but in March the company said it wouldn't get broad release until January 2007. Ballmer said Wednesday that the planned January launch may slip further based on feedback from a beta release program and the product road-maps of hardware vendors.

"We think we are on track for shipping early in the year. We've talked about the month, but we get a chance to critically assess all of the feedback we'll get from this beta release then confirm or move [the launch date] a few weeks," he said at a news conference in Tokyo.

Mentioned at a dinner last night with Jim Allchin was that a new theme is coming to replace the Non-Aero Theme for Vista Capable PCs (PC's that cannot run Windows Aero).

Also mentioned were some other great features coming from Vista, Restart Manager and Windows ReadyBoost.

If I was keeping up with my current news this is because of Symantec's nagging correct?

Well leave it to the public. Vista Build 5384.4 has been leaked to the public. I have seen it on Torrents ans IRC already. Go figure. Espically since it is supposted to be released soon by M$ themsleves.

 

[Jordan Pardy]

Erm.. what? Microsoft releasing it to the public?.........Microsoft? Not torrents?

 

[KSoD]

Yes M$ plans on releasing it to the Public. It was slated to be about the 27th or so. But i am guessing that got pushed back. Maybe a week or so later. But yes M$ is planning on releasing it to the public themselves. No Torrents.
