Besides it supports now on Tabs and RSS Feads and was optically up-polished. Windows Mail Outlook Express was replaced to Mail by Windows Mail, is to become clearly safer above all. Security Not only with various filters in Internet Explorer and Mail Microsoft wants the security of Windows increase. Apart from the user account protection and various warnings and functions admitted from Windows XP (safety center) a new program, the Defender runs also in the background. The Defender is to seek out and switch Spyware off and other harming programs, should however only as addition of a virus scanner and a Firewall to be used. Security - protection of children and young people By activation of the protection of children and young people a normal used account can effectively reduced and are controlled. So parents have to close the possibility this account for certain clock times, Web page, plays (over age release), to block programs and Downloads. Additionally one can be noticeable to activity report (there is even an attitude, one in addition reminded). Changes of system are naturally also not possible. There were many of these functions always with NT, but they were to be specified only laboriously over appropriate guidelines.

Characteristic at the network center: Under “View full map” one could be able to be indicated the topology of the entire network. Another mini assistant, was in former times in the context menu of the Desktops hidden. The attitude for the background picture. Today one finds here an assistant, to that arranged equal into several categories is. The Windows own background thereby even after color and motive is partitioned. A worsened assistant, the Defragmentierer, releases from each status and diagram. There misses one even XP times. Multimedia The new Media Player 11 brings system beside a new optics and the integrated Shop also the support for DVDs also. Like that it is possible without auxiliary software to play these. Worth mentioning is still the Windows DVD Maker, which it makes possible without auxiliary software To tape video DVDs with own videos and pictures, as well as the Windows photo gallery, with which one can bring order in the video/photo collection.

These are by an additional operating system level however further compatibly to 32 bits programs. Technology Most innovations will be probably not direct to see, but in that Support of new technologies or improvements more existing. Among other things hybrid non removable disk drive assemblies will become supported and external Flash memory as fast buffers usable its (Readyboost). A new Setup The new Setup possesses a complete graphic surface (no DOS part more) and goes quite fast of the hand. By Windows a basic image is only copied, and this adapted to the PC. New activation Also the kind of the activation was changed. Thus there are the activation-free volume licenses only still reduced, and also only with the enterprise versions Businesses and Enterprise. Whereby it will give two types of volume license keys: The multiple Activation key (MAK) activates PC over a direct connection with Microsoft servers by Internet or by telephone. With the key management Enterprises themselves can activate service (KMS) computers in their network. The PCs must itself subsequently, to the reactivation at least once every six months internally with the key management service set in connection. If the activation effected does not start Vista only to the reduced extent. With Vista RC2 thereby an empty Desktop is started, no starting menu, only the Browser adjusted as standard with a info. side and the activation dialogue. Up to the final version can itself still change. Besides will the license of Windows Vista becomes now regularly over Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) examined. This technology determines whether on the PC a master software license of Windows Vista assigned becomes. Missed validating lead to the loss of the entrance on certain functions. In addition belong Windows aero, some Spyware filters of the Windows Defender and Windows ReadyBoost for the use of USB stick for faster working. In addition the user is regularly informed that he none original system begins. Against some rumors is arbitrarily often re-activatable Vista, like XP. Ultimate extra The most expensive expenditure of Vista gets extras from Microsoft regularly spendiert. First admits became are a poker game, an extension for bit loose and an animated Desktop. Beyond that one receives this for Ultimate of MUI packages (Multilingual user interface), is language packages, permit a user another language to assign. One knows so Vista Ultimate with a user on French serve and with the other one on Netherlands. One knows also any Ultimateversion in German. With clearly the favourable prices in the USA (despite tariff) possibly an idea. New starters an edition With Vista new starter comes an edition, which is to appear in 119 countries. Among other things now also in Africa. Like already the starters edition of XP is the Vista variant likewise reduced, one can only three programs at the same time implementing, is in dissolution and other things reduced. It also always becomes the signature “keep Windows Vista starter” in the foreground. Windows remains fully controllable and can further at each time his stability and program variety prove. Not all this changed, notices one if one the Windows Classic Mode activates, which is clearly more performanter, in addition, more boringly and hardly advantages of the new Surface offers. Vista runs also with such reductions also relatively well on older computers. In addition more in ours Vista Quäler department. Vista is offered in different versions. In November companies received 2006 also Volume licenses the access to Vista, since in the middle of January 2007 are the system Builder versions, in Germany substantially more cheaply than the Retailversionen are available. left: SELF-SERVICE versions are supplied in a DVD covering and a Kurzanleitung. Click for increasing Since 30 January 2007 the normal Retailversion and update Retailversion are available. Vista is delivered in a new compact box, which is to protect the data medium better. Scope of supply The Vista Retail packing in the detail. Click for increasing Vista offers for the first time the direct possibility of to Vista a version on a with higher order to transfer. Microsoft calls this function Windows Anytime update. This function makes it possible to transfer at any time to more extensively equipped Vista an edition.

US of prices look thereby as follows: Home Premium Ultimate Home basic 119 € 279 € Home Premium - 199 € Business - 159 € There are also rumors over a Downloadversion. This offer seems however only, just like that vergünstigte Family luggage to apply only to USA/Canada. In the Retailpaketen only the 32-Bit version contains, but a coupon is attached, to that against a small B earbeitungsgebühr the missing DVD by post office supplies. Exception is Ultimate, there is both DVDs directly contained its. In the SELF-SERVICE packages only one version is contained. CD a version can likewise later are ordered. Which edition one should take is at present still sun clear, 32 bits. The 64 bits version has at present simply too few drivers, old XP driver cannot be used, after short testing have I that seen and transferred again. A parallel operation is not possible so easily, since per key only one version may be installed. An option for those becomes however safe of 64 bits medium-term future its. Who is not yet safe which edition and version for it is the correct, should the following Articles c't times read. Vista is as already mentioned, if one buys a new computer now, is rather evolutionary usually Vista eh contained, for existing systems is transferred well to consider. To one should be well equipped the computer, on the other hand in addition, driver for exist, and/or. Drivers exist. Thus it was called recently Main boards with NForce 2 chip set is incompatible.
