| The first major test version of the Windows Vista operating system has been released by Microsoft Corporation. The release was to a limited number of programmers and IT professionals. These people will now be given the chance to test drive the highly anticipated and greatly delayed program. The "Beta 1" of Windows Vista, that used to be code named Longhorn, was delivered to 10,000 technical professionals and others who will test the software and provide feedback to the company. At this time, the Beta version does not have all of the various features that will end up in the final product. The final product is scheduled to be available for sale late in 2006. The Beta version focuses on the fundamentals of the system, such as security and overall manageability.
