Microsoft: Vista shipments on track
Microsoft Corp. said on Thursday it sees no reason why its new Windows Vista operating system would be delayed, but it stopped short of committing to its previously stated launch target.
"We will ship Windows Vista when it is available," Kevin Johnson, co-president of Microsoft's platforms and services unit, said at the company's annual financial analyst meeting.
"However, we are going to ship the product when it is ready and we are just going to take it milestone by milestone," he said of the upgrade to Windows, which sits on more than 90 percent of the world's personal computers.
Microsoft has already postponed the release of its new Windows for consumers until early 2007 -- after the crucial holiday shopping season -- to improve the system's quality.
