Windows Vista release delayed

[alexanderpas]

SEATTLE, Washington (AP) -- Computer geeks who were hoping to find a PC featuring Microsoft Corp.'s brand-new operating system under the tree this December are going to be out of luck.

The Redmond software maker said Tuesday that it would delay the consumer release of the new system, dubbed Vista, until January 2007.

It says on the bbc news website that its because of trying to fix all the security bugs and stuff that have plauged XP etc. To be honest though in my opinion no matter how much they delay it and no matter how many security bugs and loopholes that they fix; I can guarantee that for everone fixed the hackers will find like 2 more that they didn't even think about. Its pointless really lol we're still going to get a security flawed product

Well, look on the bright side. It looks nice and have some good features.

I ain't getting it, since I red somewhere Vista requires 1 GB of RAM, and I don't have that much.

i have the min. req of vista, but i ain't getting it either... it's TOO MUCH :D

i went from Windows (for Workgroups) 3.11 » Windows 98 Second Edition » Windows XP

I have 2 GB ram as it is XD
When Vista comes out, I will get one McNasty computer ugprade, The One Upgrade To Rule Them All. We're talking max ram, best AMD cpu and two of the best nVidia GFX cards in SLI. That'll be lush.

I wants ... but am best not getting. Only got 1GB Ram XD

It really does sound and look good, most likely to get a new computer with it in 2007-2008.

I won't get this for years to come, not til I can have like 4 gigs of tram on my board, hahaha, serious waste of space, XP is bad enough in the modern skin

Actually I heared its not about fixing security holes but re-writing about 60% of source code, which obviously means something is not working well in Vista. If you ask me, I rather stay with XP and not upgrade to Vista - there's no real reason to do so besides the graphics which don't attract me anyway.

re-writing about 60% of source code, which obviously means something is not working well in Vista.uhm... lemme guess... they broke something when they fixed a security leak, and to make it back good AND keep it secure they need to re-write 60% of the code XD

I will get it, but I will be getting it about a few months maybe a year after it's realeased so I know everything is working fine with it.

I will grab Vista as soon as there's a patch/keygen available that lets me use Windows Update fine. Vista will deal with all the annoyances I have with XP, and thus I can't wait to get offa it fast enough.
Who cares if something cocks up, Im merging this drive back with its parent and getting myself a couple of Raptors to use Windows on anyways...

my next "PC" will be a mac! since Macs do Windows, too (http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/)
that'll be a dual-boot with the last version of X and vista!

that'll be a dual-boot with the last version of X and vista!I've heard that too. Apple's new computers will be compatible for Windows XP, since it's the most used operation software, so that users will buy an Apple easier.

As of last week I believe that IE7 has been removed from Vista.
Available as a stand-alone addon only, not a core product.
Apparently, even Microsoft can't figure out how to pry IE6 from their code either.Funniest quote of the day XD

i dont know what my next pc will be but i would lik it to be windows vista
