Microsoft's troubled transition from XP
to
Vista has become something of a comedy of errors, with leaks,
confusing hardware
requirements, disappearing features, and habitual delays having plagued the next-gen OS since it was just a wee
Longhorn. And now it seems that once again our hopes of running Vista before the end of the year have been dashed, with
Microsoft issuing a press release late Tuesday revealing that although a business rollout will begin in November,
consumers will have to wait until January 2007 to upgrade. While we're certainly frustrated that we won't be able to
get our Vista-on for the holidays, we're gonna try to put a positive spin on the situation and appreciate the fact that
we now have a little longer to decide which of the
eight
six flavors of the new
operating system we'll be dual-booting on our Macs.
