Longhorn: Christmas 2006

Ars Technica reports that Microsoft Windows Vista, the operating system formerly known as Longhorn, will make its debut in time for the 2006 holiday shopping season.

There is plenty of precedent for a Christmas 2006 release date for Longhorn slippiing to Valentine’s Day (2007 or later).
