Vista ad

Windows Vista is the name of the latest release of Microsoft Windows, a line of proprietary graphical operating systems used on personal computers, including home and business desktops, notebook computers, and media centers. Prior to its announcement on July 22, 2005, Vista was known by its codename Longhorn. [1] On November 8, 2006, Windows Vista development was completed and is now in the release to manufacturing stage. Some editions were available to volume license customers, MSDN and TechNet subscribers through November 2006.;[2] Microsoft has stated that the scheduled release date for worldwide availability is January 30, 2007.[3] These release dates come more than five years after the release of its predecessor, Windows XP, making it the longest time span between major releases of Windows.

According to Microsoft,[4] Windows Vista contains hundreds of new features; some of the most significant include an updated graphical user interface and visual style dubbed Windows Aero, improved searching features, new multimedia creation tools such as Windows DVD Maker, and completely redesigned networking, audio, print, and display sub-systems. Vista also aims to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network using peer-to-peer technology, making it easier to share files and digital media between computers and devices. For developers, Vista introduces version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, which aims to make it significantly easier for developers to write high-quality applications than with the traditional Windows API.

Microsoft's primary stated objective with Vista, however, has been to improve the state of security in the Windows operating system.[5] One of the most common criticisms of Windows XP and its predecessors has been their commonly exploited security vulnerabilities and overall susceptibility to malware, viruses and buffer overflows. In light of this, then Microsoft chairman Bill Gates announced in early 2002 a company-wide 'Trustworthy Computing initiative' which aims to incorporate security work into every aspect of software development at the company. Microsoft claimed that it prioritized improving the security of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 above finishing Windows Vista, significantly delaying its completion.[6]

During the course of its development, Vista has been the target of a number of negative assessments by various groups. Criticism of Windows Vista has included protracted development time, more restrictive licensing terms, the inclusion of a number of new Digital Rights Management technologies aimed at restricting the copying of protected digital media, and the usability of new features such as User Account Control.

It's not ugly. I find it VERY atractive. They re-named the task bar in Windows 7. The SUPER BAR!!! =D And notice that the icons are bigger. but take up less space! If you hover over a running application on your super bar, then you'll get a thumbnail preview of the app. If you hover over the thumbnail, then you get a preview that's the actually size of the app. If you wish to learn more. PM me your questions. ;

My vista computer is so buggy. The installation though, not the OS (it's upgraded).

@camargo2012 It is poorer that 7. Bit like a beta version. I have Vista. Not a huge amount of difference though.

@bob93219 Windows 7 has sold more copies then every version of Mac OS (OS 1 - OS X) combined. But I really should be defending Apple because I'm such an Apple fanboy

[bob93219]

@vistarox What about mac osx dumb ass

[vistarox]

no matter what anyone says Vista was probably the most important OS update in history. It introduced 100's of new core technologies to Windows which lead to Windows 7 being the most successful OS in history
