Windows Vista, the new Microsoft’s operating system, is no longer available for pre-order via Amazon.com.
“Because of a Microsoft request, the many versions of the Windows Vista operating system are not currently available for pre-order at Amazon.com. They are estimated to be available January 30, 2007, and you can sign up at right to be notified via e-mail when Vista becomes available for pre-order. If you’ve already pre-ordered Vista at Amazon.com, your order will be fulfilled when the software is available”, the Windows Vista product pages at Amazon.com say.
Since August, when the pre-order offer started, there was no information about which listed Vista DVD is 32-bit and which is 64-bit version. There were only different Vista editions, such as Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate, as same as offered corresponding upgrades from XP.
It was reported earlier this week that Windows Vista will ship on a single DVD, in either a 32- or 64-bit configuration, while users of Windows Vista Ultimate will get both versions.
