Neo003 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 That would be in UK shouldn't it? So the release date in US should be earlier, but I think they might push it back since Microsoft can't confirm the date and they have authority to push the date back.

NienorGT Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 RTM Release or Retail release? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/503184-vista-release-date-revealed/#findComment-587952623 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 RTM is 24th october or thereabouts so this date is quite possible. Manufactuerers and business is expecting it early Novemember so consumer release december in time for xmas could be on the cards, this way ppl upgrading and buying new systems over the holiday period will have the Vista OS all ready and waiting to pick up all at once. Although the only ambitious thing about the date is their plan to release all 3 titles on the way day. Thats somewhat unlike Microsoft, but they seem to be ontrack and on top of things in recent months so id say good news come December :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/503184-vista-release-date-revealed/#findComment-587952639 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Derf Veteran Posted October 13, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 13, 2006 I fear people will rush out buy it not reading or being aware of the system requirements. I ran it for a while with 384MB of RAM and an onboard video card. The Aero glass stuff didn't work, obviously, but it wasn't horrible.
