While Microsoft officially ceased support today for its last-generation Windows 98 operating system, its next-gen, gamer-friendly Vista OS is not yet ready to go. According to Market Watch, during a presentation today to software partners in Cape Town, South Africa, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates said there was an 80 percent chance the company would launch Vista in January.
"We got to get this absolutely right," Market Watch quotes Gates. "If the feedback from the beta tests shows it is not ready for prime time, I'd be glad to delay it."
Microsoft previously delayed the release of Vista from its planned 2006 launch in March to the current January date, saying the developers "needed just a few more weeks." Some of the operating system's planned features were actually cut in order to help meet that 2006 release date.
Any delay in the release of Vista would also impact gamers. At the D.I.C.E. Summit in February, Peter Moore, head of Microsoft's gaming division, apologized for the company's "dereliction of duty" when it came to PC games and emphasized how the Vista platform would benefit PC gamers. One of the higher-profile Vista titles set for release is the PC edition of Halo 2, which will run only on the Vista OS.
MS日前正式停止了对于它上一代OS：Win98的一切支持，而它的下一代OS：WinVista仍然没有上市的详细日程。据Market Watch报道，Gates近日在南非卡普城的一个展示会中正式承认：Vista的发售有80%的可能在明年一月。
“我们必须要把一切做到尽善尽美才行。”盖茨说“如果目前的测试反馈证明Vista还没有准备好，我仍然会继续推迟它”
MS早先宣布Vista的发售日为2006年三月，现在推延到了来年一月。开发方宣称“我们还需要更多的时间”。为了赶上发售档期，一些操作系统的实际功能被削减掉了。
对于玩家，Vista推迟的反应很大。Peter Moore，MS游戏部门总裁，日前就公司的“失职”对广大玩家进行了道歉。同时他描绘了Vista将给玩家带来的光明前景等等。值得一提的是Halo 2的PC版，这款游戏将只会在Vista系统上运行。. |
