    I figured that was going to happen. At least for business uses and stuff all the bugs will be worked out before the retail release. :)

    I was hoping to get it by Q4 this year... Ah well, I'll just buy Professional 64-Bit to keep me until it's out...

    Maybe, depends, I guess I'll see...

    It's Microsofts latest Operating System that looks eerily similar to Mac OSX Tiger... (Copycats...)

    LOL, its okay. It happens all the time. I could delete some of the double posts, but its just easier to leave it.

    I was thinking about getting Vista on a new laptop, but i don't want to wait till 06

    Not suprising. Software for some odd reason seems to get delayed quite easily. I am still undesided if I will get Vista. Oh well...

    Wow I knew this was going to happen.

    I'm just waiting on Vista because of the nice interface, nothing more. I could stick with XP for as long as possible and try to make it look like Vista with themes, which I have now, but of course there have got to be SOME benefits going to Vista.

    I wonder how much it's going to cost.

    What do you think is the business rationale for Microsoft to delay the consumer version, but still selling the business version in November?
    Would you not think that businesses are the most likely to wait? while consumers are the most likely to get the newest software as soon as it comes out?

    Maybe since the Business versions tend to be more expensive, and people will want it as soon as possible... Microsofts rationale is that consumers will buy the business edition just to get it sooner for more money?
