Vista may return an appointment error

Just a few days after announcing the Symantec case will not affect Vista's launch , Microsoft Steve Ballmer's executive chairman said yesterday that the next version of the operating system may be back. Miss the date.

Last Monday, answering questions from Ballmer reporters, the launch of Windows Vista will not be delayed again because of a lawsuit with Symantec when the security firm sued Microsoft for copyright infringement. Application storage technology in this operating system version.

However, yesterday, Ballmer chairman said that Microsoft did not really commit to launch Windows Vista early next year.

' We guarantee that Windows Vista will be the highest quality product when it comes to users' hands. Microsoft is ready to receive all user feedback for the recently released Windows Vista test version, 'Ballmer said.

However, Microsoft's executive chairman declined to confirm whether Windows Vista will be available in January next year or if it is delayed again. Ballmer insisted that Windows Vista had a seasonal prediction in the fourth quarter of this year that it would be best to wait when the cycle of business season returns.

' We are discussing with hardware partners whether they want to launch Windows Vista - early January, late January or February, ' Ballmer said. ' But we are still working hard to release Vista early next year .'

A Gartner researcher warned that users should not expect Windows Vista to be released early next year, which may have to wait until the second quarter of 2007.

But information about the launch of Windows Vista from Microsoft is very different. It seems very chaotic and may be a marketing strategy of this company when Jim Alchin - co-chairman of Microsoft in charge of platform development team responsible for bringing the operating system to market, reaffirmed Vista will be released in January next year.
