What is Windows Vista™

The Center Of Your Digital Life

Windows Vista transforms your Windows-based PC into a dynamic new platform for your digital lifestyle. With its vivid interface and enhanced multimedia, Windows Vista delivers a breakthrough user experience that puts you in control--and makes computing fun.

Take Multitasking to the Max

Windows Vista makes your daily multitasking easier than ever. Simply flip through your open applications and documents using 3D, real-time, animated thumbnails. And when you need to find just about anything--a specific picture, movie, song or document--just turn to the integrated Instant Search box to find the file right away.

Enhance Home Entertainment

Beyond personal productivity, Windows Vista includes all the Windows Media Center® capabilities you need to turn your PC into an out-of-this-world entertainment center. Show off your digital photos and home movies, record your favorite TV shows and listen to music online. You can even connect to your Xbox 360™ to extend these capabilities to anywhere in your home (up to 5 other TVs or PCs at the same time).

Secure Your Valuable Assets

Whether surfing the Internet or reading email, you can be assured that you're protected with Windows Vista. In fact, Windows Vista is designed to be the safest Windows® operating system yet. This is not just an operating system upgrade. It's a leap forward in usability, reliability and protection.
