Microsoft Corp. launched Windows Vista for businesses on Thursday, and predicting that over 200 million people will run new Windows, Office or PC server software by the end of 2007.
Vista upgrades the operating system used on more than 90 percent of the world's computers and features translucent windows to make it easier to view items on the desktop, an improved search system, and improved reliability and security.
The world's largest software maker will not make Vista widely available for retail customers until January 30, giving computer manufacturers time to load the operating system onto new PCs.
Along with Vista, the new Office 2007 software suite and Exchange server became available to business customers on Thursday.
"This is the biggest launch in our company's history. That's for sure," Chief Executive Steve Ballmer said at a presentation in New York.
