| Windows Vista isn't the only forthcoming Microsoft software for which Amazon has apparently pre-announced availability. The online retailer is also taking pre-orders for Microsoft Office 2007, and has listed the day the product will be available as 30 January 2007, the same date as for Windows Vista. Yesterday Microsoft refused to confirm the exact availability of Office, continuing to maintain in a statement through its public relations firm that the system will be available to business customers by the end of the year, and consumers in early 2007. On Tuesday, the company also toed the party line on Windows Vista availability, repeating what it has said since March: Vista will be available to business customers in November, and consumers in January 2007. Microsoft's comment on Vista followed Tuesday's news reports that Amazon was taking pre-orders for the OS (operating system) and had not only listed the software's date of availability, but also pricing, which the vendor had not announced yet... http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/index.cfm?newsid=6951

| What does this time-line tell you?
Vista Beta CD I received has an expiration date of February 2007.
The downloaded Vista Beta 2 I just got has an expiration date of June 2007.
Wonder when the upcoming RC1 version will expire?
So if the public release of Vista is in December and/or January does that mean we get to play with it for upwards of 6 months before having to buy it?
