Windows Vista

Windows® Vista™ is Microsoft's next generation operating system, formerly known by its code-name Longhorn.

Originally announced in 2001, and officially unveiled at Microsoft's 2003 developers' conference, Windows Vista faced numerous delays; with Microsoft scaling back some of its features in order to help get it out the door within the stated target of 2006. Windows Vista was released in November 2006 for business customers, and for consumers in January 2007.
