There is a lot of buzz on Windows Vista, Microsoft’s latest version of their operating system. After five years and numerous missed ship dates, Microsoft will finally launch their much anticipated desktop OS to the general public at the end of January.
You may be curious to peek under the hood and see what new features the fancy new system has to offer.
Microsoft has made it easy to satiate your interest. Go to the link at the bottom and you can get a basic overview of the key new features in Windows Vista through your browser.
Of course this being Microsoft there are a few “gotchas” before you begin. First off, you will need Internet Explorer to run the demo, then you will be requested to download an Active X control which should only take a few minutes on a fast connection.
To fully run the Vista test drive you will need to be patient as large chunks of code will need to be downloaded to your browser in order to get the full effect.
Once that is done what you will have is a virtual version of Vista desktop in your browser with a toolbar and fancy new windows. If you cannot tolerate the long downloads you can click the “view video” buttons for a video with voiceover detailing the new improved functionality of Windows Vista.
What are some of Windows Vista’s new features worth checking out? The new security features are definitely robust; no surprise as Bill Gates has mandated security over everything else since 2001.
New extended laptop and easier network connectivity like immediately finding connected printers and peripherals are another welcomed productivity enhancement in Windows Vista.
