IT departments face fewer user problems and enjoy more automated repair and easier administration. Organizations and enterprises benefit from less downtime, fewer IT hassles, and greater productivity.
Reliability: From prevention through recovery
Windows Vista detects hardware problems before they occur; reduces the frequency of incidents in which applications stop responding or the PC needs to be restarted; and automatically recovers from startup and service failures. How do you benefit? No data loss, no frustration, and no downtime. • Security: Defense in depth
Windows Vista is the most secure and trustworthy Windows operating system ever, and it helps organizations achieve their business and computing goals with confidence. Windows Vista security features protect against the latest generation of threats, such as worms, viruses, and malware.

An image-based setup makes Windows Vista much easier to deploy than earlier versions of the Windows operating system. Installation is more reliable and takes advantage of built-in imaging technology and tools. Upgrades from earlier versions of Windows are clean installations that allow you to preserve user data and settings.
Performance: Fast and responsive
Windows Vista delivers improved performance where you’re sure to notice it. Enjoy the faster startup time and low power consumption of the new sleep state. In many cases, Windows Vista is noticeably more responsive than Windows XP on identical hardware. • Management: Greater control and better tools

Sounds hot. I currently used windows xp myself and love its stability. So Windows Vista is even Better, wow. However, I hate the "Activation " process though.
I mean, i think when you buy a sofware you can install a copy on one computer, but you can also have the mobility to decide to install it on another computer and delete the software from the old computer.
I mean, that would still only be using the software on one computer; and the rules is Terms is not break. Right?
windows vista is 32bit, windows xp x64 is for 64-bit. there's probably a function where the optimize it for your 32bit or 64bit processor. anyways i say it looks nice, but it's power consuming...so renderers and gamers may get a loss in performance.
Ive already got vista...You need a good pc to get the full potential out of it though. It's basically XP with a new GUI lots of eye candy and power tools. The layout it nice though but i hate how programs on the start menu are organised. FI your going to get vista don't get the home basic as that doesn't have the glassy black aero theme. I would suggest if your just going to use vista for work etc gete the Home Professional as you don't need a super fast PC to run it. Im running Business and its got all the features of ultimate except Games and Media Centre
For those of you that have or have used Vista, I would like to hear your opinions. Thus far, I haven't seen anything that is convincin enough for me to buy it. What can it do that XP can't? Besides, I'd have to go and buy a whole new computer to use it. It's supposed to take a ton of processing power.
The proper installation of Vista in my humble opinion. I'm not going to even bother installing that piece of junk - all it brings to the table ends up being essentially a waste of space and processor ticks(the security updates are of no matter - they'll be breached in a matter of time, and not patched soon enough). I'm just going to run all my applications through WINE when Slackware finally comes out with a 64-bit version just to escape the bloat.
Ya i will eventuallly get windows vista. i heard that they had some security problems, so im going to wait a while before i upgrade. it looks really nice from those pictures. ill probably do it sometime soon.
Wow is all I have to say just because of the fact I thought they gave up giving licenses for this
old, outdated, slow, useless operating system. I guess not as November 1st, 2008 Windows 3.1 is
officially dead and the funny thing is didn't support for this operating system end at windows
98 or something like that? Either way I wonder when they will stop issuing liscenses for 95, 98,
ME, 2000 because those operating systems are just as outdated and can not even run most of the web
technologies that ae out there today and so if your going to cut off support you might....
Another interesting article I came across today thanks to digg and it would seem that the points are
right and I would think most people would agree with them even though this is in the eyes of an
Apple user. 1. Easier product versions QUOTE Keep it simple, please Microsoft. Having too many
different versions of your product is too confusing for the buying public to understand. Should they
go for the Home, the Professional or the Ultimate version? Vista shipped in six different editions,
while OS X 10.5 Leopard came in just one (if you forget the server edition). ....
A few weeks ago, i downloaded a live-cd for Linux Ubuntu 8.4 and booted it from the cd. It was not
as bad as i had thought (although i had trouble booting /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle"
emoid=" ) but REALY SLOW. So i installed Ubuntu and was pretty nice /smile.gif"
style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> . From my experience from
vista and ubuntu i have to say vista still stands number for me. Which one do you think is better?....
This post is based on an article printed by lifehacker.com in which I thought I bring my opinions
about this article. 10. Side bar Thank god I would think 99% of the world would agree that this
was the most useless feature and a memory waster as well, because every time I started up vista the
memory would spike when it was loading that sidebar and besides I close it most of the time anyway
because of how useless it really was. 9. Old school programs get the respect they deserve To be
quite honest I am glad they are at least updating these programs, even if it is just....
Hi there. I have a problem with File Types on my PC: xls files are opened by default with Open
Office, but I want to open them with Excel. I right click the file and I choose Open With, but Excel
is not in those programs; so I select Choose Program; again Excel is not in the Recommended Programs
nor in the Other Programs. I click Browse and I go to where Excel is installed and I select the exe,
but after I click Ok nothing happens, I mean Excel doesn't appear in Recommended Programs like
it should. So my question is this: is there any way to force xls files to open ....
Hi all, I'm sure some of you gave a thought to this, why does Vista always show the login
screen when booting? In XP there was an option somewhere in control panel to "assume this user
always login to the computer" or something like that. That way if you used the same user 99% of the
time and wanted to keep a second user as say an administrator you could do so by setting that
option. If you ever wanted to switch to the "hidden" user you could do so with Log Off or Switch
User in Start Menu. Now this is not possible in Vista, the user is given the login screen no ma....
I had came across this new theme on lifehacker last week , and besides the cool blue layout it
comes with some new audio clips when you log on and off XP. If anything, I would download it four
the sound clips because they are pretty cool to listen to when you log on and off the computer.
Here is a download of the theme http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?aywudxvynnq Desktop Image

I just thought others will be interested to know the genealogy of Vista which looks like this:
QUOTE As you know Windows 1.0 was their first: November 1985. Windows 2.0 : end of 1987.
Windows 3.0 : May 1990. Windows 3.1 : April 1992. Windows for Workgroups 3.1 : October 1992.
Windows NT 3.1 Workstation : July 1993.(there only had a workstation version) Windows for
Workgroups 3.11 : August 1993. Windows NT 3.5 Workstation and Server : September 1994.

Hi , I dont know what happened but My system restarts after a few Minutes (at max an hour). Can
someone guess what might be wrong. It displays a System Shutdown Timer (initiated by
Administrator) and then restarts after 60 sec. This is an SP2 so I dont think its a blaster. I
have a ZoneAlarm Security Suite and it didn't detect anything. I even Scanned my Windows folder
from Kaspersky using my Second OS (Vista) but that also didn't detect anything . .. Any guesses

Are you bored at work today? Here's a small enhancement to your desktop. Hope you like it. I)
When you have to open any program you have to click "Start" "All Programs" and then choose your
selection from the programs folder. Now how would it be to achieve the same task in just two clicks?
You can save all your favourite program shortcuts in a folder and view that through a tiny arrow
near the system tray. Its very simple. You would tell, "Ya, I almost knew that". Here's how to
do it. a) First create your folder and add the shortcuts you want to access. The f....
Hello. I tried Installing Windows Vista Home Premium today, but when it comes to the part
of the Installation where it says "Your computer will restart several times" my computer restarts
more then 40 times, and never loads after that. After like, 10-15 minutes of it being off, I switch
it back on, and it restores to XP (Witch is good because it wouldn't start up at all). I've
tried installing this 4 times altogether, and nothing. it keeps restarting continuously more then 40
times. The only time it restarts is after the BIOS loads, when switching/restar....
I reinstall (restore) windows almost every 2-3 months. What about you??? Seeing the title some would
say "I do it daily" and some others "How to reinstall?". Let's see the poll results. Linuxers,
see you in other post. Reinstalling windows is a daily chore for the students studying computers.
They have to switch a lot of softwares, compilers etc etc. Windows as we know, will not tolerate a
whole lot of (Un)installations and will ultimately slow down the whole system. This is not the case
with Linux. Just consider this, I installed Red Hat WS 3(the older version whi....
This is an essay I written for a my linux class and I thought I would give my thoughts about how I
compared XP with Ubuntu. QUOTE Windows XP & Ubuntu’s Cold War In 2000 years, there
have been many epic battles, many of which have produced both heroes and villains and many producing
winners and losers. However, in today’s world another cold war is brewing, that cold war is
between Microsoft’s Windows XP and Ubuntu. They will never pull out all the stops and launch
nuclear missiles, but instead will try to provide a whole new world for people t....
I share a Windows XP computer with two friends, and we each have our own User Account on the
computer. Recently whenever my friends use the PC, they begin to have problems with it. For no
reason whatsoever, Windows Explorer will crash and close all the current folders that are open. I
went onto their User Accounts to see for myself (with permission, of course), and found that
Explorer would crash any time I right-clicked a File, and would also crash on occasion if I clicked
"File" on the Folder Window's Menu Bar with a file selected. It also happened on rare occasion....
One year after the official Vista release , Microsoft is already working on the next Windows
operating system , Windows 7 , also known as Blackcomb or Vienna . Windows 7 Milestone 1 Build 6519
, the first working version of windows 7 , has already leaked to the w a r e z community , but it
doesn't differs much from Vista . The release is set for late 2009 / 2010 . So what do you think
about Windows 7 . Of course that the work on Vista continues , as it's not yet perfect but will
soon be.....

run smoothly on a 1gig ram pc. is this true? i'll be buying a desktop and a laptop in a month
and my budget is not that big. one will suffer if i add more to one and i'm trying to maintain a
balance. my option is to buy a 1 gig ram laptop and beef up the desktop but i don't want a slow
laptop also. anyone who has an experience on using a vista and a xp with the same softwares. is
there a difference. ....
Iam the user of Windows Vista. I gone with Vista because of unavailability of other options. Windows

Ok, so I've done some looking around trying to see if it's possible I could dual-boot my pc
with Windows XP Home and Vista Ultimate Edition (x64). Well, I know it's possible, but I'm
not understanding many guides I read because many people have mentioned assorted stuff like
requiring two hard drives (I only have one 250GB one), and other assorted stuff like software
I'd need to supply certain space to the two separate partitions. I was thinking of making my
Windows XP be more of the serious partition, and having Vista be the more media-centered one, ....
