Default key features of vista


Among the key features of Vista as it currently stands are:
  • security enhancements,
  • a new searching mechanism,
  • lots of new laptop features,
  • parental controls
  • better home networking.
  • visual changes(Avalon) ranging from shiny translucent windows to icons that are tiny representations of a document itself. futhur On the business side,according to Microsoft Vista will be easier for businesses to deploy on multiple PCs and will also save costs by reducing the number of times computers will have to be rebooted.

can't wait ???

Vista used to be called as Longhorn earlier and it has evolved quite a bit since Microsoft first demonstrated an early version in 2003.

Yes the new phishing filter in IE7, and the controlled personal data are definately good features... i just wonder exactly how long it will take for someone to crack it... every OS of microsoft has been beaten in some way so far it's only a matter of time.

I hope there is more to it than that. Nothing in that list inspires me to want to upgrade. A long time ago I liked upgrading to the latest and greatest to live on the edge. Now I like to sit back and wait and see if there is anything worthwhile.

Don't see anything yet. Although I suspect the 64-bit hardware platform will drive my desire for vista eventually.

yes there is more, but most of Vista's improvements are in crazy security and visual effects, it's true
