Microsoft Vista out today

[temi]

Vista's release is two years late
Microsoft's new operating system, Windows Vista, starts its global roll-out on Thursday, being first made available to business customers.
The system, a replacement for the firm's current Windows XP operating system, will not be available to private users until 30 January.

With Windows running on nine in 10 of the world's PCs, analysts agree the new version should be a big success.

However, Vista is two years late and its consumer launch misses Christmas.
