Online retailer Amazon has begun taking orders for Microsoft's long-delayed new operating system, Windows Vista.
The US branch of Amazon is offering a number of different full-price versions of Vista, as well as upgrades from the widely-used current system, Windows XP.

Windows Vista Home Basic is listed at $199 (£106), while the home/office version, Vista Ultimate, is priced at $399 (£210). Upgrades will cost less.

Consumer versions of Vista are not due for release until January next year.

Microsoft has said that business releases of the operating system should be available from November.
