When I first read that Windows Vista would be available in the second half of 2006, I had immediately believed it would be the holiday season. Steve Jobs during the Apple developer conference joked about it being December 31, 2006 but now a slipup during a speech seems to further confirm this time period:

But at the Microsoft Financial Analyst Conference in Redmond, Washington, Thursday, Will Poole, senior vice president of the client division of Microsoft, said the OS would not be available until the 2006 “holiday” time frame in the U.S.

Optimal period to release Vista probably wouldn’t be the late summer 2006, anyway. Better to target the holiday season if they are going to be late. Just make sure when it is released that it works, I think that carries the sentiments of many Windows users.

Did this post make you go hmm?
