Vista Delayed Until Jan 2007

The Washington Post seems to think that Microsoft delaying Vista until Jan 2007 will hurt consumer electronic and office supply retailers’ holiday shopping season. Seems to me OEMs will just hand out the free Vista upgrade coupons with new PCs just like they did with XP…no?

Microsoft, the world's largest software maker on Tuesday said it would push back the consumer version of Vista until January 2007 from an earlier target for the second half of 2006 and pledged to ship the next version of its operating system to business customers in November.
