| | Re: Release Date Available? Although none of this is "final", Vista is expected to "go Gold" sometime in the first half of November. ("Go Gold" = the code is done and RTM (released to manufacturing .... turned over to the DVD manufacturing firms). Some corporate customers will be able to get the official relase via download (more or less like we got the release candidates, but it won't be open to the public). Retail product in stores on the shelves won't be until January. And all of those dates will move if MS does not decide the the product is "finished" in the first half of November. Also, this is for US English release only. International versions are likely to be somewhat later.

Thanks. >> > RTM means "Release to Manufacturing" -- it has nothing to do with getting it out to driver makers, etc. It only has ever meant that the GOLD copy is sent to the CD/DVD duplication houses who press the discs and combine them with whatever printed material goes into the box. Period. It's not a "rumor" item. With a video game, this only take a few days to a couple of weeks. With something as large are Windows Vista, it can take months to get it all ready. |
