The next version of Microsoft Corp.’s Windows operating system, Vista, is “rock solid and ready to ship” and will be available to retail customers on January 30, the co-president of the company’s platforms and services division said on Wednesday.
Jim Allchin said Microsoft expects consumer adoption of Vista to be “fast and immediate.” Vista will be available to businesses on or before November 30. Allchin said the company expects that improved security features will drive businesses to adopt Vista.
“We’ve added defense or depth … so that even if there is a vulnerability, it’s harder or impossible to get to it,” he said.
“In my opinion, it is the most secure system that is available and it’s certainly the most secure system that we’ve ever shipped,” he added.
