Windows Vista Released To Manufacturing

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the it's-a-wrap dept.

Many readers wrote in to make sure we know that Microsoft execs have signed off on the code and Windows Vista has been and released to manufacturing. As APC put it, "It's good to go — or as good as it is going to be until the first round of patching begins." CNN has a good roundup of Vista's long development history.

    Woohoo, Vista is here! It must be 2003 already! Oh wait...

    Amazingly, the summary has an error, the link is to a CNET article, not a CNN article. It doesn't make much sense for CNN to be covering the RTM of an operating system.

  6. The tagging by Rik+Sweeney · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Seriously, the tagging is rapidly dissolving into childish rubbish (even by Slashdot's standards). I'm fed up of seeing every story getting tagged with "itsatrap". Can it be removed or can the lameness filter be extended to the tags?
