How To Get Ready For Vista
Sunday, October 1st, 2006
Although Microsoft’s Windows Vista is still months away from general release, your customers
and users are most likely pounding you with questions about the new OS now. In this Recipe, I’ll cover the known hardware requirements for the upcoming OS, what components you need to be looking at for the new systems you’ll be building and what updates are likely to be needed for existing systems to run Vista.
Regardless of when Vista is released, it’s not too soon to examine the OS’ key selling points: ease-of-use, top-notch security, robust search and better management functionality.
On the ease-of-use front, Vista’s user interface has been redesigned to be intuitive and visually appealing. It also features a slick new GUI called Aero, which is optional. Aero’s certain to be one of the reasons that people are drawn to Vista, but it requires hefty graphics horsepower.
On the security side, Vista is more tightly integrated with Microsoft’s anti-malware tools than WinXP. Also, Vista supports advanced security features, such as hard-drive encryption and a new feature called Windows Service Hardening, which helps prevent virus, spyware and other malware.
