Microsoft announce that business users will get Vista in November but other consumers will have to wait till next year...

With wide-scale Beta Testing aimed for the second quarter of 2006, Microsoft has today announced release periods for business and general consumer users for their long-awaited XP follow-up, Windows Vista.

The company has confirmed that the product is on target for completion during 2006 before business users get hold of the operating system in November 2006. General consumers however will have to wait a few months since Microsoft announced that Vista won't be available to them until January 2007.

Confirming the split between the consumer base, Jim Allchin, Co-President for the Platforms & Services Division at Microsoft said, "Product quality and a great out-of-box experience have been two of our key drivers for Windows Vista, and we are on track to deliver on both...But the industry requires greater lead time to deliver Windows Vista on new PCs during holiday. We must optimize for the industry, so we've decided to separate business and consumer availability."

The news follows an announcement back in early February that Halo 2 will be exclusive Windows Vista title when it's eventually released on PCs.

Curious, is that a typo?

"As a publisher, no one is more excited to see the continued growth and evolution of Games for Windows - LIVE than Microsoft Game Studios,"

Should surley read as.

Actually Commodore is indeed a group of people with the name, but unlike previous restarts, this small group actually does pay tribute to the old c64 heritage they hold C64 parties and contests (demo's) and do work with the old enthausiasts. from what I've seen its a small group who really are going for it and i wish them luck

The Spec on the system will make any game run at full setting with ease but the price tag has got to be in the $4000 range,

Hey anonymous that supposedly attended a trade show in the 80's: You haven't learned how to type, spell, or use better grammar in 20 years? And we're supposed to get something out of that garbage post? Plus, you DO realize that Commodore is, and has been for a long time now, a name. And that's all. The name has been passed around a little bit, but none of the same people run anything Commodore related. Any new Commodore we see will be in name only. Like Atari.

Having attended a computer show in london in the early 1990's ('big boy barry' was there to give you a idea of the dates) the commodore execs had a ? and answer section. i asked them ? about there new wonder machine and pointed out that there new machines price put it in competition with PC's. The level of arrogance displayed from them stunning they laughed at the thought that a humple pc could be a match for there super new machine and that the much higher pricing(taken the machines out off there price range for most amiga users at that time) will be ok and we will all buy one!!!. If commodore are to come back and the arrogance is still there i see bankrupt again!!
