Author: Charles Hayes:
Windows Vista is a line of graphical
operating systems used on personal
computers, including home and business
desktops, notebook computers, Tablet
PCs, and media centers. Prior to its
announcement on July 22, 2005, Windows
Vista was known by its codename
"Longhorn". Development was completed
on November 8, 2006; over the following
three months it was released in stages
to computer hardware and software
manufacturers, business customers, and
retail channels. On January 30, 2007, it
was released worldwide to the general
public, and was made available for
purchase and downloading from Microsoft's
web site. The release of Windows Vista comes
more than five years after the introduction
of its predecessor, Windows XP, making it
the longest time span between two releases
of Microsoft Windows.
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 includes 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.
