Windows Vista is just 14 days away from the general availability date January 30, 2007. Microsoft will debut the Windows Vista road trip on 16 January. According to Nick White, Microsoft
Program Manager, the Windows Vista Coach Tour will end January 24.

"By now I'm sure you've heard that the "Wow" starts now. Well, now we're bringing the "Wow" to you! From 16-24 January, I and a few Windows community influencers will hop on a custom-wrapped Windows Vista bus and visit major cities on the East coast of the United States." Here is the schedule of the Windows Vista Coach Tour:

Day 1, 16-Jan - Nashville/Lexington/Cincinnati/Columbus
Day 2, 17-Jan - Columbus/Pittsburgh/Pittsburg/Philadelphia/Baltimore/Washington, DC
Day 3, 18-Jan - Washington, DC/Richmond, VA/Williamsburg
Day 4, 19-Jan - Williamsburg/Charlotte
Day 5, 20-Jan - Charlotte/Raleigh-Durham/Savannah/Jacksonville
Day 6, 21-Jan - Jacksonville/Orlando/Gainesville
Day 7, 22-Jan - Gainesville/Atlanta/Athens
Day 8, 23-Jan - Athens/Nashville

On January 24, the Vista road trip will come to an end with the return to Nashville. "This will be a really exciting tour. I've never been a part of such an extensive road trip like this before and look forward to meeting regular folks interested in seeing demos of Windows Vista in person. We'll show off several PCs running Windows Vista while demo'ing things like Ultimate Extras, speech recognition, Tablet functionality, and the way Media Center works with the Xbox 360 as an extender. We've got some cool stuff to give away, and we'll capture video and still photos of our interactions so that you all on this blog can be a part of the action. We'll also be prepared to answer the many questions we anticipate that the folks will have," added White.

The Vista tour will feature a customized coach designed on the default Vista "energy" theme. The coach will additionally deliver free Wi-Fi connections and the possibility to test-drive Windows Vista and an Xbox 360 console.
