Windows Vista Home Premium
Windows Vista Home Premium is the operating system for homes with advanced computer
needs. It will help you use your laptop or desktop PC more effectively as well as
enable you to enjoy new, exciting digital entertainment experiences—all with the
benefit of added security and reliability.
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.
