Windows Vista Home Premium is a great choice for going beyond e-mail and web surfing to improve personal productivity and enjoy all kinds of digital entertainment. You can search for anything on your computer from virtually anywhere, so you'll save lots of time. You’ll get improved performance and better protection for your PC, your personal information, and your family. You’ll find more ways to have fun with your music, TV, games, and digital media. Plus, if you have a laptop, you'll love the new way your computer connects to wireless networks and manages battery life.
The first thing you'll notice about Windows Vista Home Premium is that your desktop experience has never looked better. But behind the translucent good looks, the Windows Aero experience is all about making it easier to focus on your content and to find and keep track of what you're doing.
You won't have to open a window to see what's in it because live taskbar thumbnails and Live Icons will show you. And when you have a lot of programs open, you can quickly locate and select the one you want using Windows Flip and Windows Flip 3D.
Your life probably moves at warp speed, so you can't afford to spend a lot of time searching on your computer for the things you need.
Now, virtually anything on your PC is never more than a few keystrokes away with Instant Search. To quickly find the holiday letter you're working on, that Halloween photo of your youngest child, or the e-mail invitation to your friend's barbecue, you can simply start typing in the Search box on the Start menu.
It's easier and faster to find anything, no matter where you may have saved it, with the consistent, streamlined menus, toolbars, and preview panes in the improved Explorers in Windows Vista. Explorers include Search boxes too, so you can search within a particular type of information, such as all your documents. You can organize your files any way that you want and immediately sort and filter information based on file type, saved date, or the name of the file creator. Windows Vista Home Premium makes it easier than ever to set up and maintain your new PC. Get up and running fast using Windows Easy Transfer to automatically copy your files, photos, music, e-mail, and settings from your old PC to your new Windows Vista–based PC.
After your computer is set up, you will appreciate how Windows Vista works in the background to take care of itself and reduce the amount of technical maintenance you need to do. New performance technologies can help improve the responsiveness of your most-used applications and decrease the time it takes you to download files.
System disruptions are kept to a minimum with little or no effort required from you. New self-healing technology automatically identifies and fixes problems, and built-in diagnostics alert you to disk failure, defective memory, and other potential issues so they can be resolved before affecting your everyday tasks.
It's likely that safety is one of your top concerns. We worked very hard on this area in the years since we developed Windows XP, and the result of that work is the most secure version of Windows yet.
There are thousands of advertisers and scammers out there, so it's good to know that you can take steps to prevent malicious software from infiltrating your PC. Your first line of defense in Windows Vista is Windows Firewall, which helps provide protection as soon as you turn on your computer. And Windows Defender can help you reduce the number of pop-ups and lessen the security threats posed by spyware and other unwanted software.
Having fun shouldn't be hard work. Now, you can easily make your PC the center of a complete home entertainment experience with Windows Vista Home Premium.
Explore the options your entire digital entertainment library can offer with the easy-to-navigate Windows Media Center. For instance, you only need a cable TV connection and a TV tuner card to record TV shows and watch them whenever you like with no monthly fee. You can easily play DVDs, download movies, and even try something different like viewing your photos in a cinematic slide show or browsing your music collection by cover art.
