Microsoft postpones Vista. Again.
22 March 2006

After all the excitement and marketing hype we've been enduring, Microsoft has postponed the consumer release of its forthcoming Vista operating system until next year. VNU reports that Microsoft claims hardware manufacturers are asking for more time to test their hardware with Vista. The operating system was first expected in 2003, and was most recently promised in time for Christmas 2006. PC World - the magazine, not the shop - speculates that this will give Apple a big boost in the Christmas shopping season. Even so, Apple has a lot of ground to make up and is unlikely to steal a significant proportion of Microsoft's upgrade business.
