Just wanted to say that this forum is the best resource for computer main/info that I have run across on the net. I have been helped with a couple of small problems by you folks already; but probably the most important aspect is what I have learned by simply reading the various posts and the responses to same. I am a bit of a tweaker and have made quite a number of small adjustments to the OS based on the recommendations / suggestions. I really don't know how the moderators find the time to responded(and sometimes the patience ). - Webster

Microsoft Corp. is expected to release to manufacturing the next version of its Windows desktop operating system on July 25, 2006, to ensure PC vendors have it on machines in time for the 2006 holiday season in the U.S., according to sources familiar with the company's plans. Microsoft is expected to give Windows Vista to PC vendors earlier than customers expected to "get a jump on the Christmas season," Ethan Allen, a Microsoft beta tester and administrator of The Hotfix Web site, said in an e-mail today. The information also is posted on The Hotfix site and corroborated by another beta tester.
Even so, Michael Burk, product manager for Windows Vista at Microsoft, said in an e-mail that the company has not yet provided a time frame for when Vista would be in the hands of its manufacturers. Company executives have said the operating system would be generally available on PCs in time for the 2006 holiday season, which is late November to late December in the U.S. PC manufacturers would need access to Windows Vista earlier than that in order to ship it on hardware by that time. Microsoft also plans to give developers a second beta of Windows Vista on Dec. 16, 2005, Allen said.
