The consulting firm released a note suggesting that Microsoft is not on track to make Windows Vista broadly available until at least Q2 2007 — some nine to 12 months after Beta 2 and well after Microsoft’s announced shipping date. Microsoft has been quick to deny the validity of Gartner’s report; the software giant insists that it remains on track.
