Microsoft Windows Vista goes on sale at Amazon
Friday, September 1st, 2006
Amazon.com has started taking early orders for Microsoft’s long-delayed Windows Vista operating 
system, offering versions of the product from $100 to $399.
The retailer’s Web site said the software will be available on Jan. 30, and an Amazon (Charts) spokesman said on Tuesday the date was an estimate based on informal conversations with Microsoft and others in the computer industry.
Microsoft spokesman Lou Gellos declined to comment on Amazon’s pre-sale, saying the software maker is still finalizing its pricing model. It has not set a release date for the new version of Windows, which sits on more than 90 percent of the world’s personal computers.
Microsoft has repeatedly postponed the release of Windows Vista, which is already five years in the making. Quality assurance delays have put off the consumer version of Vista until early 2007 - after the crucial holiday shopping season. Vista is due to ship to corporate customers in November.
