Windows Vista Business
The Windows Vista Business operating system is
designed to meet the needs of business
organizations of all sizes. For small
businesses, Windows Vista Business will help
keep PCs running smoothly and more securely so
you will be less reliant on dedicated IT
support. For larger organizations, Windows Vista
Business provides dramatic new infrastructure
improvements, enabling your IT staff to spend
less time focused on the day-to-day maintenance
of PCs and more time adding strategic value to
your organization. Windows Vista Business also
offers powerful new ways to organize, find, and
share information while staying better connected
whether you are in the office or on the road.
This helps your business to run more efficiently
than ever before.

- More manageable, reliable, and secure
For small businesses, Windows Vista Business
includes new technology and tools to ensure
your PCs are always up-to-date, more secure,
and running smoothly. For instance, Windows
Vista Business will make your PCs safer with
built-in protection against malicious
software, or malware. You will be warned of
impending hardware failures long before you
risk losing any important business data. An
array of sophisticated new backup
technologies helps protect your information
even in the event of a catastrophic hardware
failure. For larger organizations, Windows
Vista Business has been designed from the
ground up to improve the deployment and
management of the operating system. For
instance, image-based installation is now
the default method for installing the
Windows Vista operating system, and the
images are no longer hardware-dependent.
These two key design principles enable your
organization to dramatically reduce the
number of images you are required to manage
and streamline the process of deploying new
PCs and updating existing PCs. For
businesses of any size, Windows Vista
Business is designed to allow your IT
department to configure users' systems so
that they can log onto their PCs as standard
users instead of as administrators. Windows
Vista Business enables the use of standard
user accounts without the compatibility and
usability issues that could occur in
previous versions of Windows. This new
capability significantly reduces the
likelihood of a malicious attack causing
damage to your organization's PCs.
- Easier, faster access to information
Windows Vista Business has a new user
interface, named Windows Aero™,
which is designed to deliver new levels of
efficiency for any business user. This new
interface makes it easy to navigate through
the operating system and from application to
application. For instance, Windows Aero
helps you juggle multiple tasks at once by
providing a three-dimensional, real-time,
animated view of all your open applications
and documents. In addition to these
navigation improvements, Windows Vista
Business makes it easier than ever to manage
huge volumes of business documents. By
integrating search throughout the operating
system and providing new ways to organize
files, Windows Vista Business helps you
quickly find exactly what you are looking
for. For those who are not full-time IT
professionals but have roles that require
them to support their organizations' PCs,
Windows Vista Business includes Small
Business Resources. This built-in how-to
guide leads you through everyday tasks and
troubleshooting in easy-to-follow,
non-technical language.
- More mobile and better connected
Windows Vista Business is designed to help
you easily and quickly connect with your
organization, your customers, and your
partners, whether you are in the office or
on the road. Windows Vista Business includes
all of the essential infrastructure required
to more securely connect you to your
business information whether you are sitting
at your desk, working at home, connected to
a WiFi hotspot, or even if you are using
your cell phone to connect to the Internet.
To help you be more productive when you're
away from your desk, Windows Vista Business
includes Windows Tablet and Touch
Technology, so you can interact with your
Tablet PC by using a digital pen or your
fingertip in addition to a keyboard. The new
Windows Tablet and Touch Technology in
Windows Vista Business includes improved
handwriting recognition and easier ways to
browse documents and programs without using
a keyboard. Computers that include Windows
Vista Business and an auxiliary Windows
SideShow™ display will also allow you to
access critical business information even
when your computer is turned off. Windows
Vista Business also makes it easy for you to
share documents and collaborate with
colleagues, partners, and customers—even if
a network is not available. Additionally,
Windows Vista Business helps you get the
most out of your portable PC by making it
quick and easy to manage key mobility
settings.
