Features and Benefits
Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit
English Single Pack OEM
New user interface
Windows Vista Home Premium has a new user
interface named Windows Aero™, which is both
efficient and beautiful. This new interface
makes it easier than ever before to find
your way around the operating system. It
even makes it easier to accomplish multiple
tasks at once by providing a
three-dimensional, real-time, animated view
of all of your open applications and
documents. Additionally, Windows Vista Home
Premium helps you quickly find and organize
large collections of documents, pictures,
movies, videos, and music. By integrating
search throughout the operating system,
Windows Vista Home Premium helps you quickly
find exactly what you are looking for.
Improved mobility
Windows Vista Home Premium makes it easy to
take your home computing experience with you
wherever you go. For example, Windows Vista
Home Premium includes Windows Tablet and
Touch Technology that enables you to
interact with your Tablet PC-compatible
computer with a digital pen or with your
fingertip instead of having to use a
keyboard. Computers that include Windows
Vista Home Premium and an auxiliary Windows
SideShow™ display will also allow you to
access key data even when your computer is
off. It is also easier than ever to share
files between other PCs in your household
and to manage your laptop computer settings
to more securely connect to your favorite
WiFi hotspot.
More entertaining
Windows Vista Home Premium will improve
every aspect of your digital entertainment
experiences including viewing and sharing
photos, video, TV, movies, music, games, and
more. For example, Windows Vista Home
Premium enables you to create your own DVDs
and edit your own high-definition movies.
Most significantly, Windows Vista Home
Premium includes all of the Windows Media
Center capabilities for turning your PC into
an all-in-one home entertainment center.
Windows Media Center in Windows Vista
provides new ways for you to enjoy your
music, photos, and DVD movies. You can also
use Windows Media Center to record and watch
your favorite TV shows (even HDTV) and to
access new kinds of online entertainment
content. You will also be able to connect
Windows Vista Home Premium to your Microsoft
Xbox 360 to extend your Media Center
experience to multiple rooms in your home.
