flaws discovered in Vista but the hard work from Microsoft is not waste.Here is the list of new
improved or newly added features in the Vista.
Antispyware:
Months before release of Vista the fear of disappearence was there for Antispyware industry which is nearly $155 million.This Antispyware"windows defender" is the reason of fear for this Anti spyware industry.
Windows Defender is the built-in spyware blocker bundled in Windows Vista .Windows defender was also available as free stand alone application form past few months only to genuine windows user.(require atleast windows installer version 3 for installation). So a good move towards security of personal data of users over internet.
Windows Aero:
This is going to provide greater looks and feel to windows user having a higher (Direct x 9.0 or above) graphics card.This feature allows users to view a 3D view of open window.
Windows Search :
One of the most helpful new features in Windows Vista, is the new, vastly improved search for files or applications from almost any corner of the computer Unlike in Windows XP, with Window Search, you can simply type a few letters of your search request, and the results appear on the fly ,a very helpful feature when looking for a file or application from the Start menu. Micosoft was getting strong competetion in this field from Google's Desktop search software.
Booting enhancements :
The NT Boot Loader present in XP has been replaced by Windows Boot Manager. Vista does not allow storing users' own as well as application files in Windows installed boot drives such as C drive for security reasons, for users, including the administrator.
Parental Control over net and system:
Microsoft has also given an answer to parents call to protect their children from objectionable content on net or system though there are a number of software applications available now a days that allow parents to keep control over their childs Internet activity, but Vista packs this feature in the OS itself.
The feature called Parental Control, which was not present in the Windows XP.This will allow parents to control their children's PC activities without a fuss. In fact, parents will be delighted with Vista's ability to block objectionable content.
The controls will allow them to act as a computer administrator and set specific boundaries for other users, including separate standard user accounts for family members, especially children. They can set rules like which sites a certain user can, or cannot, access and hours during which a particular user can use the computer.
They can also curtail access to specific applications and view where other users have been on the computer and on the Web.
We also have another new faetures for the another discussion later.......
