Microsoft Shares Drop on Windows Delay

Shares of Microsoft Corp. fell Wednesday after the software maker delayed the consumer release of its new operating system until January 2007, after the holiday shopping season.

Shares of Microsoft dropped 59 cents, or 2.1 percent, to close at $27.15 on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

The Redmond, Wash.-based company made the announcement about its new system, dubbed Vista, after financial markets closed on Tuesday. Analysts said the delay would hurt computer makers and retailers most of all, since they were likely looking forward to a new operating system to boost holiday sales.
