Vista Build 5421 Revealed!!

It seems that one of the Microsoft blogs have revealed screenshots of a New Vista Build. The Build is 5421 and The Build string is 5421.winmain.060428-1903.
The graphics of the screenshots have been messed up very badly. This has been done on purpose. Nothing new can be seen in the screenshots except the new build date.

Vista delayed even more??

SEATTLE (Reuters) – Microsoft Corp.'s long- awaited release of the upgrade to its flagship Windows operating system will likely be delayed again by at least three months, research group Gartner Inc. said on Tuesday.

The research note, released to clients on Monday, said the new Windows Vista operating system is too complex to be able to meet Microsoft's targeted November release for volume licence customers and January launch for retail consumers.

A Microsoft spokeswoman said the company disagreed with the Gartner report and it was still on track to meet its launch dates.

Vista is the first major overhaul of its operating system, which sits on 90 percent of the world's computers and accounts for nearly a third of Microsoft's total revenue, since Microsoft rolled out Windows XP nearly five years ago.

Microsoft originally targeted a 2005 launch for the new Windows, then pushed the release out to 2006 before announcing in March that Vista would again be delayed to improve the product's quality.

Gartner targets a Windows Vista release in the April-June quarter of 2007, nine to 12 months after Microsoft conducts a second major test, or "beta," release for Vista during the current quarter.

This was more or less expected from Microsoft, Vista is the longest Delayed project by Microsoft. Frankly it Doesnt Make a difference because they missed The Holidays Season in which they could earn a lot

UPDATE :-

So as promised i have got my PSP, It looks pretty good. The Widescreen is definitely stunning. So far i have played Top Spin and GTA. Graphics are pretty good and sound output is nice too. A few things that i didnt like about the PSP are that there is a lot of loading time and i can see my fingerprints all around the screen and some other parts. I will be buying some other games too and will be posting my initial review,

On The offside, i am still waiting for the Nintendo DS lite [White] to come from Australia but as of now, next week i am expecting Xbox 360 Premium to come, so i am pretty excited. 😉 🙂

I am really thankful to all of you for your comments and everything. There will be a final update to all this once when i get Nintendo DS lite.
