I can`t wait until July :))

Yet another rumor about the possible launch date of Windows Vista, the most anticipated operating system ever, will not impress readers too much.
However, considering the source of this rumor, by that we mean editors from the IDG News Service and Techworld, we are inclined to say that this information is accurate.
Based on a news piece published yesterday by Techworld, we are told that Microsoft had announced the official launch date of the OS operating system. The event should take place on the 23rd of July, next year.

Starting with this possible launch date, the company will begin distributing the software to PC vendors so they can have systems ready for the 2006 Christmas holiday season.

And still, even though Microsoft lets us know about this Windows Vista launch date, it still disputes the date.
On one hand there's Ethan Allen, a Microsoft beta tester and admin of The Hotfix website, who claims that this "early release will let vendors get a jump on the Christmas season".
On the other hand, there's Michael Burk, Product manager for Windows Vista, who said that Microsoft hasn't yet provided a time frame for when the operating system will start being sent to OEM.

Considering there is a great number of precedents when hotfix was right about certain Microsoft launch dates, this time they could also be right.
But we are also used to seing Microsoft back down from earlier denials.
