Microsoft Vista launched in 70 nations worldwide

Software giant Microsoft has finally launched the consumer version of their Vista operating system in as many as 70 countries around the world.

Microsoft claims that Vista OS provides a secure environment to the consumer while providing him a revamped interface to the personal computer.

The company spent close to around USD 6 billion on development of this operating system update and it took around five years to reach the completion stage.

Microsoft further claims that this is the most crucial Windows OS launch since the launch of Windows 95 more than a decade ago.

However, market analysts have warned that the initial sales are expected to be slow considering only a minority of computers present in the market are capable of supporting the full features of the operating system. People are more likely to upgrade when they buy their next PC.
