November will be a big month in the USA as Microsoft has set November 30 as the release date for Vista (and Office 2007) to business customers and January 30, 2007 as the date for the official launch to consumers and The World At Large.
We are waiting for a response from Microsoft Australia with an official Australian release date for the new operating system to land on our doorstep. However, in the USA it will be five years, three months and five days after Windows XP made its debut that the new Microsoft Windows Vista will be released. It believed that the actual release date in Australia may well be January 30, 2007.and Microsoft Office suite 2007 will be released on that day.
However, Vista and Office 2007 will be shown off first for business customers on November 30 and aslo being shown off is the email server program called Exchange 2007. From that date, Microsoft will make programs available to corporate customers who hold an enterprise license or software assurance deal with Microsoft.
It is thought that the mainstream 'consumer launch' will take place nearly two months later when the retail stored will offer a massive amount of Vista retail packs as well as desktops and notebooks pre-loaded with Vista.
