Not So Breaking News: Microsoft Has A Delay In Software Release

Technology stocks are seeing and early fall in trading today, after Microsoft Corp (MSFT)' announced yesterday that the next version of its Windows operating system, Windows Vista will not be available for release for consumers until January 2007. The big fear is that a delay for retail release until after the holiday shopping season will result in a big miss for consumers who are already willing to make big ticket purchase at that time of year. Windows Vista is already two years late as far as being released to the public. - Microsoft Delays Wide Launch Of Windows Vista (MSNBC.com) Alienware Home & Office Systems
