10 reasons why Vista is much more than a spoon full of sugar
Every new operating system comes with advanced and much improved
features. What is exciting to some is not so to others.
Basically within a new system each user has his or her own
individual preferences. Windows Vista or Longhorn as it was
first known is a replacement for XP and is the "new" desk
operating system scheduled to be launched by December 2006.
Descriptions of Vista are glowing; it is seen as a vision of the
future. High definition graphics, the 'z' level in organization,
greater clarity, unbelievable security, and boundless thinking
power are what it is about. The operating system is set to
fulfill all needs, it has a secure and speedy start up, not just
when booting but also when returning to active status from
standby mode; improved and strengthened driver design which
protects the os from crashing when other things go wrong; and an
antiphishing device or filter that identifies and confirms
phishing sites by using a dynamically updated database.
Technically, the Vista uses an image-based installation thereby
facilitating deployments by IT professionals. An advanced event
log simplifies administrative tasks.
The October 2005 new test build of Windows Vista has fulfilled
expectations by incorporating several new IE 7.0 features, new
networking and diagnostic functions. Of all the most significant
is the incorporation of the core of Microsoft's Antispyware
product in Vista. A key feature of the Vista system is
deployment, the inter-dependent modules permits easy
customization of Vista to fit individual needs. The WIM format
allows a single image to be used or accessed by different
computer hardware irrespective of individual language
requirements, you can easily add or remove drivers, include
updates and windows components offline without having to boot
the operating system image.
The system comes with features like:
1. A new graphics engine that has easy navigation, toolbars with
inbuilt intuition, high resolution graphics, movie action that
is better that real-life, and easy to learn tools.
2. Revamped Windows Explorer with a next generation navigation
structure, tool bars, and icons. The user friendly design
incorporates clear glowing buttons and an interface that can
captivate a user for hours together.
3. Virtual folders offer permanent storage with dynamic
interaction possibilities. 4. The user account protection
features shield you from rouge programs and security risk.
5. The system ensures easy installation of programs with "Click
Once." This energizes an installation experience by lending the
function speed and security. 6. Error messages are handled by
"Task Dialogues" an integral diagnostics that warns of a problem
and helps with a solution.
7. New and improved technologies include, PNRP, Peer Name
Resolution Protocol, a brand new technological revolution that
enables applications to find and connect to one another; WWAN, a
router; WLAN, indoor connector; VLAN, allows LANS to
communicate; Wi - Fi, deals with radio frequencies.
8. A system where snap-ins to MMC can be moved up or down as per
convenience.
9. Has XImage which is non-destructive.
10. Improved up-time with an automatic Restart Manager.
According to computer experts, Vista conquers new horizons while
it takes technology into a new realm. It introduces joys of
working along with hum drums like increased productivity.
Whether or not the features commented upon and tested by many
techies across the world will be incorporated in the final
version of Vista is not certain as it will be decided by
Microsoft based on surveys, marketing projections, costs, and
technical reasons.
