Bill Gates Celebrates Worldwide General Availability of Windows Vista and the 2007 Microsoft Office System
January 29, 2007

From Times Square in New York City, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates hosted the worldwide launch of Windows Vista and the 2007 Microsoft Office System. The celebration paid tribute to the millions of Microsoft customers, partners and product testers around the world who provided input and feedback on these products -- helping Microsoft transform the way people communicate, create and share content, and access information and entertainment in the new digital age.

CONGRATS MICROSOFT.

Here.

Microsoft has made the first batch of 22 updates for Vista available via the built-in Windows Update client.

One thing you should know, that Vista is relesed today for the geenral public. However it's been 3 months that it was relesed for Bussiness Users, so technically it is already 3 months old

By the way, activewin has done an extensive 72 page review of Windows Vista

Tomshardware has compleated there XP vs Vista performance difference benchmarks

gxsaurav · 30-01-2007, 03:31 PM

@ Indyan]

so far, there is no such way found. Even i m looking for the same

ambandla · 30-01-2007, 04:39 PM

IN tomshardware, for all the tests Windows Xp is faster than Vista. This does not mean that XP is superior. let the 64 bit apps taking full use of Vista features come in and XP will look like granny before Vista.

saurabh.sauron · 30-01-2007, 05:42 PM

well it's out. support for XP might be out in another two years. MS dumps it's old software like anything.

Third Eye · 30-01-2007, 05:55 PM

Hey thanks for the info.....

it was supposed to end 2009, but xp support will now end 2014. The addition of a five-year "extended support" phase to Windows XP will take effect in May 2009.

Yes, we do - but certainly not on the day it is released.

gxsaurav · 30-01-2007, 06:58 PM

@arya

Vista was relesed 3 months ago un-officially, & today only it is relesed for Public use.

MS relesed some updates for Vista today, & guess what, none of them are releted to security, they are usability updates such as MUI & other languages

jack// ani · 30-01-2007, 07:01 PM

^^ yeah..true!! nobody on the earth wants to do that..

It wasnt exactly launched for all business 3 months ago. It was only launched for big scale enterprises (Vista Enterprise Edition) and was available through volume licensing. Even Vista Business Edition has been launched today.

anandk · 30-01-2007, 07:21 PM

ok, the build-up is over and xp's successor vista has hit the shelves.

Is Vista already out in stores in India. WHat is the price?

the deconstructionist · 30-01-2007, 07:29 PM

old should make way for the new. It will lead to more upgrades.

dont think its out in the stores in India yet...
but here are the indicative prices in India :

vista home basic - 8450/-
vista home premium - 10050/-
vista business - 12500/-
vista ultimate - 16700/-

a nice review here btw, Review: Windows Vista operating system

soham · 30-01-2007, 07:49 PM

Vista Home basic costs more than XP pro and it doesnt even sport Aero!
It is priced such that everyone willing to buy Vista would end up buying the Home premium version.

gxsaurav · 30-01-2007, 08:18 PM

yeah that is true, XP Home editions costs less then Vista basic, something not right. All of a sudden, Windows XP looks better then Vista on old hardware

VIsta will come bundled with new desktop pc's from most manufacturers so that'll help vista too .

soham · 30-01-2007, 09:01 PM

In India, there would be hardly any vendors who would bundle anything above Vista Home Basic. Imagine getting a copy of Vista Ultimate Edition with a 35k PC.
Suddenly a premium OS has become a luxury possesion.

This luxery will soon be all over, due to piracy. There are many people who don't need anything over Vista home premium, however still they will want Ultimate edition, just for the sake of it cos it's the best

Of course, but can you blame them? If I can have a better product, I'll always want it too whether I actually require it or not.

This comic puts it forward quite effectively:

Even if you overlook the last part, the message is quite clear. Announcing so many different versions of a product is simply tomfoolery.
