Microsoft on Tuesday announced a delay of Windows Vista that will mean PCs with the new operating system won't go on sale until January. The software maker said it will still wrap up development of the operating system this year and make it available to volume-licensing customers in November.

The industry would be a better place if Linux were in control. Reliable release cycles, better security and better stability
