On Wednesday, November 8, 2006, Microsoft released its new operating system, Windows Vista, to hardware manufacturers, marking the end of the development phase and the beginning of the distribution phase. For more than a year, we have seen various builds, most of them private but some public, with ever-increasing build numbers. The final number is build 6000 (with a string of lesser numbers following). Although CNET received a build that is technically a pre-RTM (Release to Manufacturing) build, all of the markings, both internal and external, say Windows Vista RTM build 6000 and reflect all the final fit-and-finish enhancements expected in a final software release. On November 30, 2006, Microsoft made business editions of Windows Vista available to enterprise environments, with consumer retail editions slated for January 30.
