Final countdown for Windows Vista
Just one week for commercial launch of Windows Vista, but looks like good old times were really better.
August 1995 was top for Microsoft’s enthusiasts when Gate’s Company managed to get people to queue for miles to buy its brand-new Windows 95. This time, only CompUSA plans to keep its stores open past midnight on Tuesday, January 30th for those people who like to be the first ones in getting the new operating system as soon as it is launched. Best Buy and Circuit City will each keep a few stores open late, but most of their stores and those of other retailers are planning normal hours.
Of course, all retailers agree with the idea that this is a good opportunity that only happens once in five years (or more) and all of them are hoping something special, but though Microsoft’s operating systems are more attractive for customers and dealers than its zune, it looks like Windows 95 expectation has been left behind. What comes next? Only time will tell.
