Vista - Release Date

Is the Vista release date to the general public still January 30th or 31st?
I'm getting my upgrade through the express upgrade as I just got a new
computer. I was on the phone with Microsoft after my order didn't go through
for over a week and was told that the release date was late February.

Windows Vista (retail) will be available for purchase on January 30th.
Those with free OEM upgrades will get them in the Feb. - Mar.
timeframe.

Thanks for the answer. That is what I had thought. I wish I didn't have to
wait 4-6 weeks after it is released to get my copy. It is free, though, which
is saving me something like $159 for Home Premium.
