Windows Vista may be delayed in Europe

Windows Vista may not ship in the European Union at the same time that it is released in the United States as a result of possible issues with European competition law, Microsoft acknowledged on Sept. 7.
The problem from Microsoft's perspective is that the EU has been slow in letting the software giant know exactly what it needs in order for Windows Vista to ship in Europe.
"We are doing everything we can to deliver Windows Vista to our European customers on time. Our top priority is to ensure that the product is fully compliant with European law," Microsoft spokesperson, Guy Esnouf, told eWEEK.
