Microsoft Windows Vista - PC Mag
PC Magazine has published a review of the new Microsoft Windows Vista operating system which is now available to consumers at large. 'After more than five years of intensive effort—and more than a few setbacks—today Microsoft announced that Windows Vista is complete. The company's decision to release the product to manufacturing means that it will be available to volume-licensing customers—large companies, that is—at the end of November, and to consumers and small-business buyers around the end of January 2007.
In the meantime, hardware and software vendors have some time to tune their products to improve compatibility, and system OEMs have the opportunity to finalize their deployment and support processes and begin stocking retail channels. For now, many OEMs have begun offering PCs that quality for Microsoft's Express Upgrade program, under which customers who buy a Windows Vista Capable or Windows Vista Premium Ready PC today can upgrade for a (typically nominal) fee set by the manufacturer.'
