release date vista

I'm starting to get anticipation anxiety. Anyone know the release date, tentative or otherwise? How about OEM release? Thanks.

It'll be around the end of 2006. Nobody's quite sure yet.

OEMs should receive it the month after it RTMs to start pre load it on new computers. Rumors are fall/second half of 2006. -- -- Andre Windows Connect | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta FAQ for MS AntiSpy http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm "Sir Koffagus" wrote in message
