Seattle Times reporter Ben Romano got a glimpse of a countdown clock in Building 9 at Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond. If the clock doesn't get reset, Microsoft will release to manufacturing the Windows Vista operating system next week, on October 25.
Still unknown: The dates of the business launch of the product (I guessed November 9 a while back, but Microsoft still hasn't confirmed or denied) and the date of the worldwide launch, which many are expecting around mid- to late January 2007.

Allchin: Vista won’t RTM October 25th
Vista is not on track to be released to manufacturing on October 25, according to Jim Allchin, co-president of Microsoft's platforms and services division.
"We won't RTM (release to manufacturing) in a week," Allchin told ZDNet on October 18. "We are in pretty good shape. And there are still months before (the January 2007) launch."
Allchin said Microsoft is looking at Vista across five categories right now to determine whether it's RTM-ready.
The five: Reliability, security, performance, driver coverage and application compatibility. While some of these categories — such as driver coverage and app compatibility — may not be as robust as many would expect in order for Vista to RTM, Microsoft looks at things a bit differently, Allchin said.
