Windows Vista, part 1
Thursday, June 29th, 2006
July 11th 2006 marks the end of an era as Microsoft retires the Windows 98, SE and Millennium 
Edition operating systems (see Tip of the Week). After that date there will be no more paid-for support or security updates but as one version of Windows reaches the end of its life so another one is born.
Windows Vista, previously known as ‘Longhorn’ is due to be launched later this year and is now in the final stages of its Beta Testing phase. This is usually carried out in relative privacy by a small army of PC manufacturers, software developers, expert users and volunteers who seek out the remaining bugs and glitches, prior to operating system going on sale but this time Microsoft has decided to go public, and anyone with a suitable PC can try Vista for themselves.
Over the next few episodes of Boot Camp we’ll be looking at how you can safely install the latest Beta 2 release of Windows Vista on your current PC but before we begin we’ll take a close look at the background to this new operating system, and what it can do for you.
