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.

Five years, three months and five days after Windows XP made its debut, Microsoft will usher its next-generation OS onto the stage.

APC has been advised by a very well placed source that January 30, 2007 is about to be announced as the official release date for Vista.

The biggest disappointment to me with regard to Vista is its price
My view is Microsoft constantly starts with higher prices when there is more demand and then bring down the price when demand goes down

This contradicts Law of Demand as per Economics

The indian prices are bound to be lower to combat piracy.
