I was just nosing around the web and the best I could tell, M$ says 'Early 2007 for consumers'. The VLM will be available in November.

Still a few months away. Let's see when they push it back now......

"The Vista software, which will be sold to corporate customers in November and in January to consumers, is Microsoft's first overhaul of its Windows operating system since 2001. The company is considering the concession because Vista's release is raising concerns among retailers that shoppers would hold off buying PCs, damping sales during the holidays"

i usually get news about MS on E*trade ..which i cant give a link to
