Microsoft is releasing Windows Vista, the latest version of its desktop operating system, to US retailers tomorrow, January 30.

The operating system is available at midnight tonight at local CompUSA stores. Customers can also purchase and download the software.

Rob Pegoraro of the Washington Post noted in his review that Vista looks much better than previous Windows software, but requires a thoroughly modern personal computer. For some users, it’s less expensive to buy a Vista-ready computer than to upgrade their RAM, graphics card and hard drive.

I don’t recommend installing Windows Vista until Service Pack 1 is available. Companies should delay their upgrade until their business and enterprise software vendors provide Windows Vista support. Even then, the average user doesn’t need the extra features.
