Tuesday, October 31st, 2006
Microsoft is about to release the Windows Vista operating system, its biggest software upgrade in 
years. The commercial versions will be out in November and the consumer version will be ready in January. Steve Ballmer, chief executive of Microsoft, sat down to talk with Mercury News Staff Writer Dean Takahashi about the Vista launch.
Q Is Windows Vista going to make it out on time worldwide?
A It’s going to make it out on time worldwide as announced, which means business availability before the end of the year and consumer availability early next year.
Q What impact will Vista have on the tech landscape?
A Vista will be a real boon for PC buying, PC manufacturers and the PC industry because it has energy and excitement. You get this really great new user interface. You get great new applications that work with that user interface. You get great new applications that work with that user interface. It’s great that we have a new application that we do, Office 2007, that comes out at the same time. Some other new applications will highlight some of the key things in Vista. You put that all altogether and get a surge and pop of both energy by business buyers as well as consumers. MercuryNews.com | 10/25/2006 | Q&A: Ballmer’s view of Vista
