Yes, after 5 long years of development, Windows Vista has finally been completed and has now been Released To Manufacturing (RTM). Windows Vista is Microsoft's latest version of Windows and is the successor to Windows XP.

The big milestone was announced this morning in Redmond at around 11AM PDT (7PM GMT) via Microsoft PressPass. From the sleek new "Aero" interface to the new system sounds (Which remain mostly unheard besides the Startup sound) Windows Vista definitely brings a breakthrough user experience.

As shown on the Windows Vista Home Page, Vista is scheduled to be released to the general public on January 30th, 2007. However, MSDN and TechNet Subscribers will have it available to them within 7 days from today.

This is cool stuff, so that means any bugs they find in RC2 now will have to be released in the first security updates after Vista    No doubt there will be a major exploit a few weeks after release lol.

Can't wait for the new sounds Hopefully some more sexier mac style ones

And... I'm a Technet/MSDN Subscriber! I will have to pay the extra subscription, so Im not going to, but I'm sure alot of people will have it in 7 days time if it is out on technet, like they did with XP; and all the reviewers and magazines have these subscriptions, so we will probably see alot more of the finished screen shots etc in 7 days time too!

I will probably get Business or Ultimate Edition when I buy it in January when its out

SPeaking of Microsoft stuff being released... Stores selling Zunes early
