Doesn't it cost money for Vista?

Sorry if that is a stupid question.

Depends what you subscribe to...but it's not exactly cheap...depends what you consider a lot of money, I suppose.

To answer your question, yes, it will cost money for Vista. All main windows operating systems are sold...none are given away.

I'd rather wait for the final release to come out.
Any idea when Vista is set for release?

The most reliable information I've heard (from a colleague at M$) is that it should be available for sale in late Q3 or Q4 of 2006...he did not have a hard date.
