Microsoft announced that Vista has officially ended code delivery and production.

Microsoft announced on Wednesday that the Windows Vista operating system has been developed and is planned to be released to consumers in January 30 next year.

According to the Associated Press, the announcement means that Microsoft will no longer live up to people's expectations.

Jim arqin, co-president of Microsoft platform and service, said in a conference call on Wednesday that the Windows Vista code was delivered for production on Wednesday morning.

"This is a wonderful day ." Said arqin.

Microsoft has announced that Vista will be released to large enterprise customers in November 30 this year and pushed to the public market in next January.

This release will be the first major upgrade of Microsoft Windows over the past five years. Vista's improvements include better image quality, faster document search tools, and a new Internet browser.

The release date of Vista has been postponed many times, and the most recent one is partly due to security improvement efforts.

Microsoft has been forced to scale down its initial targets to bring vista to life as early as possible, including giving up a more sophisticated approach to data classification and management. Analysts pointed out that Microsoft's Vista feature reduction may hurt people if they don't see enough reasons for upgrading.

The recent delay forces Microsoft to lose hands with the Christmas shopping season this year, and it may also be a blow to computer manufacturers and sales that have been expecting to use the new system to increase Christmas sales.

Microsoft and computer manufacturers have promised to provide holiday shoppers with a coupon to reduce the impact of Vista's delayed release on Christmas sales this year, you can upgrade your coupons to vista for free or at a discount in the future.

Microsoft's share price rose 10 cents to $29.05 In the Nasdaq Stock Market that afternoon.
