Bill Gates on Windows Vista

The president of Microsoft also spoke about the release of Windows Vista.

At a recent South African conference, Bill Gates said there is an eighty percent chance that Microsoft’s new operating system will actually be released in the first month of 2007, but there may be a slight slippage.

During the event in Cape Town, the president of software giant Redmond is making the delay of a few weeks dependent on the results of beta tests, and hopes Office 2007 will be ready this year. There was also a figure that the development of Vista and the new office suite together has consumed $ 8-9 billion so far, which means several trillions in forints.
