After five long years under Windows XP, Microsoft has finally announced a new version of its much delay update to the PC operating system, Vista.
Vista and Office 2007 (Microsoft’s suite of business applications including Word and PowerPoint) will be available to corporate customers on November 30th. While consumers will be able get their copy on January 30th 2007.
Vista is the long-awaited update of the Windows operating system that was originally intended to be release in August 2006. The software has been under development for more than five years.
The software is a major overhaul of Windows and updates many of the core technologies. New elements include improved security, an improved 3D interface, plus new sound and networking technologies.
Vista, known as Longhorn during its development and will be available in six separate versions to match the differing needs of computer users.
Three of these are tuned for businesses, two are for home users and one will be for developing nations.
In other related news, following the intense backlash against the license transfer stipulations in Vista’s EULA, where only one reactivation was allowed, and then it was clarified as ten – the software company has decided to reword the pertinent passage, which now reads “You may uninstall the software and install it on another device for your use. You may not do so to share this license between devices.”
That means there are no limits on the number of transfer and installing of Vista on separate PCs.
