Microsoft announced today that Windows Vista has been released to manufacturing. Vista will mark the first big shift in Microsoft consumer operating systems in over 5 years. According to Neowin, the RTM version of Vista will be available for MSDN subscribers sometime after November 10, while businesses should begin receiving their copies on or shortly after November 30. Vista will be launched into the retail sector on January 30, 2007.
With Vista, Microsoft promises increased security with an improved firewall and Windows Defender and User Account Control. Other fresh additions include integrated desktop search, Internet Explorer 7.0, Windows Sidebar, Windows Sideshow, built-in system diagnostics, improved gaming support, fully integrated Speech Recognition as well as support for Windows SuperFetch, Windows ReadyBoost and Windows ReadyDrive.
Windows Vista will be available in four distinct retail versions:
Windows Vista Home Basic, $199/$99.95 (full/upgrade) - Provides a basic platform for home users who want to keep tabs on email and Internet activity. Comes standard with Vista's new Search Explorer, Sidebar and Parental Controls.
Windows Vista Home Premium, $239/$159 - Builds on Home Basic by adding the Windows Aero interface, Windows Media Center functionality, Windows Tablet PC technology and integrated DVD burning.
Windows Vista Business, $299/$199 - Supports the Aero user interface, offers improved document managing and Windows Tablet PC functionality.
Windows Vista Ultimate, $399/$259 - Vista Ultimate combines the functionality of Vista Home Premium and Vista Business.

There is no official release date for Vista yet.

It was supposed to goto Dell/HP/IBM on the 8th of November so they could start pumping it out on their computers...but that got pushed back (not sure to when).

Hengis has already said that it's gone gold - and if history tells us anything...once software has gone 'gold' it means that it's going to be released in 2-3 months.
