The launch of the consumer version of Windows Vista, Microsoft's new operating system, could be pushed back past the stated January launch date, Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer said today.

The operating system was due to be launched this year but in March the company said it wouldn't get broad release until January 2007. Ballmer said Wednesday that the planned January launch may slip further based on feedback from a beta release program and the product road-maps of hardware vendors.

it runs very well overall, nice interface. however there are still some little niggly issues. shouldnt take them longer than a year to get it runnin the way it should

I wonder if its really because of Symantec's lawsuit. I don't think Ballmer, being the jackass he is, would ever admit this.
