Since Windows Vista are the buzz words this week, here I share with you some of the features, both enhanced and newly added, of the next version of Windows, after showing you some screen shots of Windows Vista.

In fact, Microsoft Windows Vista Beta 1 is being delivered to more than 10,000 beta testers via the Windows Vista Technical Beta Program, and thousands more people will receive beta 1 through the MSDN developer program and Microsoft® TechNet.

Microsoft claims that Windows Vista beta 1 greatly improved the Windows’ fundamentals such as security, deployment, manageability and performance. Let’s have a look of what are the new things they have enhanced and added in Windows Vista.

Security

  • User Account Protection features
    – enable administrators to deploy PCs set up to give end users only the privileges they need to perform their tasks.
  • Windows Service Hardening
    – monitors critical Windows services for abnormal activity in the file system, registry and network.
  • Anti-malware features
    – detect and remove worms, viruses and other types of malicious software from the computer during an upgrade.
  • Advanced data protection technologies
    – supports full-volume encryption; entire system partition is encrypted in both the hibernation file and the user data.
  • Internet Explorer 7
    – Highlights the address bar when users visit a secure sockets layer-protected site (This feature is available in Firefox now. :) )
    – Allows users to clear all cached data with a single click. (They should have this years ago. :p )
  • Firewall
    – provides outgoing as well as incoming filtering.
  • Network Access Protection

Deployment

  • The Windows Imaging (WIM)
    – help eliminate redundancy, decrease file size, and reduce installation or migration time.
  • Windows Pre-installation Environment (PE)
    – enables administrators to configure Windows offline as well as diagnose and troubleshoot hardware problems.
  • The Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT)

Manageability

  • Improved Task Scheduler
    – schedules tasks to launch when a specific event occurs, such as when disk space becomes insufficient.
  • Web Services for Management
    – makes it easier to run scripts remotely.
  • Microsoft Management Console 3.0
    – more functional graphical user interfaces for management and allows administrators to run multiple tasks in parallel, etc.

Performance

    – Login scripts and startup applications and services process in the background.
  • Sleep state
    – new Sleep state combines the speed of Standby mode with data protection features and low-power consumption of Hibernate.
