Batten the Hatches, Secure the Doors, Vista is Coming

According to ZDNet, Windows Vista, the long-delayed upgrade to the Windows OS, will be released January 30, 2007. Microsoft has announced a November 30 press conference to introduce the new OS along with Office 2007.

Originally announced in 2003, Vista will replace the venerable Windows XP, which was introduced in 2001. This marks an extraordinary gap between major Operating System releases and has often been compared to Apple's Mac OS X, which has been upgraded four times in the same time period.

Apple has already announced the next version of OS X, called Leopard, and is expected to release the software during MacWorld San Francisco 2007, which opens with Steve Jobs' keynote on January 9.
