Microsoft announced today that Windows Vista has gone gold and it is scheduled for release to businesses this month and consumers in January.
In a Q&A; session, Sven Hallauer, release manager and director of program management at Microsoft, said:
Release to manufacturing signifies the completion of our development work and the start of the next phae for Windows Vista. Windows Vista is the highest-quality version of Windows that we�ve ever produced. We�ve had more people test more builds than previous development cycles, and the result is that we received more feedback than ever before.
That being said, Windows Vista�s journey is not yet done. PC makers, device manufacturers and software developers can finalize work on their products and applications to ensure great customer experiences when Windows Vista becomes available -- to our volume license customers this month and consumers on January 30, 2007.
