A tour of Windows Vista Beta 2

Friday, June 2nd, 2006

Windows Vista, Microsoft’s newest OS and arguably its largest project ever has finally hit Beta 2.Windows Vista 6.jpg Windows Vista is the latest and most complex operating system to emerge from Microsoft’s Redmond, WA campus. It is the fourth major release of the NT family of operating systems, targeted at both the home and the enterprise.

Microsoft’s progress with Vista has been closely followed by many journalists and technical pundits. It is behind schedule and has had a handful of features postponed or culled. In short, this is a very important release for Microsoft, one where it can’t afford many mistakes. As a result, the company has taken its time perfecting the OS, being careful to release a product that is well-built, feature-rich, and stable.

This article will preview Vista and give you a broad look at what Vista has to offer. Keep in mind that this is a beta and some of the characteristics detailed later on in this article can and probably will change between now and the release of Vista. Also note that this is not a full review of the OS. While we believe an overview is warranted at this time, we’re not going to delve deeply into every issue due to the fact that we’re dealing with a beta. A tour of Windows Vista Beta 2 : Page 1
