Seattle Times reporter Ben Romano obtained a glimpse of a countdown clock in Building 9 at Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond. If the clock doesn't get reset,
microsoft Office 2010 Serial, Microsoft will release to manufacturing the Windows Vista operating system next week,
Windows 7 32 Bit, on October 25. Still unknown: The dates of the business launch with the product (I guessed November 9 a while back,
Microsoft Office 2010 Product Key, but Microsoft still hasn't confirmed or denied) and the date with the worldwide launch, which many are expecting around mid- to late January 2007. The Seattle Occasions is guessing the worldwide launch will be at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on January 7. I'm doubtful; Vista would just get lost in all the (literal) noise at that event. I'm still predicting January 30,
Office Pro Plus 2007 Key, the day that Amazon.com leaked back in August.In other Vista-related news,
Office 2007 Pro Key, Microsoft has upped substantially its own predictions as to how many applications will be Vista-ready in the coming months. Microsoft officials say there are 300 applications that already work with Vista; 2,700 more coming by January; and another 4,000 within 12 months of launch. Just a few months ago, Microsoft officials said 1,000 apps would be Vista-ready within three to four months of the January launch. Wonder how many of the thousands of newly-found applications will be brand-new ones that are optimized for Vista vs. existing apps which ISVs will tweak in some way to get them to be 100-percent compatible with Vista?
