Microsoft Vista will be released soon

Despite announcing that it will not release Vista before December 2006, it seems that Microsoft plans to release the operating system from August.

The release of the new version of Windows operating system is one of the most heavily guarded secrets at the Microsoft empire. Officials of this firm are known to hate making restrictions, unless they accidentally miss. Analysts are forced to guess the date Windows Vista shipped, perhaps somewhere around 2006 Christmas.

But it turned out, the software giant plans to launch Vista much sooner. According to what Chris Jones, one of Microsoft's top officials in charge of Windows, wrote on an internal blog, the target date was August 31, 2006.

More specifically, it is not the day Vista will land on store shelves or user computers. It is only the time when the software code is completed and sent to computer manufacturers only.

If Microsoft does as scheduled as Jones said, Vista will probably be ready for release in October (Windows XP software code was also completed on August 24, 2001 and launched on October 25). same year).

Chris Jones accidentally revealed "date" while answering a question of a deeply disgruntled employee. Recently, many employees of the company were very unhappy and depressed when they thought that Microsoft was too light to blame leadership in case of mistakes, but Vista's delay was one of the errors. heaviest.

The disruption between Windows XP and Vista lasted 5 years, the longest in the software giant's operating system release history. To keep Vista off, Microsoft has been forced to limit and cut down on a number of interesting plugins, such as a new file system that makes it easier to store and find information.

Return to the story of Chris Jones. In response to the other employee's question, Jones said he himself would have all his bonuses cut off if Vista was not promptly released on August 31, 2006, with high quality and final perfection. This insider information has entered BusinessWeek and immediately, a good story is published.
