Easier
Get things done and get on with life! Windows Vista makes it faster and easier than ever to find, use, manage, share, and enjoy information - on your PC and on the web.
Make a smooth transition to Windows Vista: Windows Easy Transfer simplifies the process of setting up your new PC by automatically transferring your important items - including files, folders, photos, music, settings, and e-mail messages - from your old computer to your new one.
In the Home Premium, Business, and Ultimate editions of Windows Vista, you'll see everything you're working on more clearly through the stunning new Windows Aero interface, which includes Windows Flip 3D to help you quickly switch between windows and tasks. Find any file, document, photo, e-mail message, song, video, or program on your PC with ease using Windows Instant Search. Just enter the name of something you're looking for - such as the date you took a picture, a song title, or a word in a document or e-mail message - and Instant Search will list all relevant matches.
Safer
Relax - Windows Vista automates the processes that help maintain the health and security of your PC, freeing you to focus on the things you enjoy the most.
Use scheduled and network backup - available in the Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions of Windows Vista - to preserve critical system settings and priceless files such as pictures, music, and movies. Performance Self-Tuning and Diagnostics automatically keep your computer running at its best, so you can spend less time fixing problems and more time enjoying your PC. And if you do encounter a major setback, Complete PC Backup and Restore in Windows Vista Business and Windows Vista Enterprise makes it easier than ever to recover your entire PC.
Windows Vista is also armed with enhanced protections designed specifically for Internet use. Dynamic security protection in Windows Internet Explorer 7 helps guard your computer and your privacy against threats like malware, fraudulent websites, and online phishing scams, while new Windows Defender technology works to minimize pop-ups, slow performance, and security threats posed by spyware and other invasive programs.
Better Connected
Take it all with you. Enjoy your entertainment and connect and share information with friends and family on the go.
It's easier than ever to use your mobile PC whenever you want. It's faster to start and end a session at your computer - the new Sleep state conserves battery life while enabling you to pause and resume work in just seconds through a simple press of the power button.
Entertain yourself anywhere using Windows Media Center on your mobile PC. Enjoy your favorite TV shows, movies, pictures, games, home videos, and music - on the plane or in the hotel.
