If Windows Vista is pushed back from its target January 2007 release, the financial impact could run between $200 million and $400 million, the company's chief financial officer said Thursday.
During the quarterly earnings call with analysts, Microsoft CFO Chris Liddell said that a slip in Vista's release to Q2 2007 would cost the company hundreds of millions.
Currently, Vista is on track for a November release to corporations with volume licensing agreements in place, and a January debut for all others, Liddell said.
