Helping your business start, grow, and thrive
Product Information
Windows Vista Business with Service Pack 1 is
the first edition of Windows designed specifically to meet the needs
of small businesses. You'll spend less time on technology
support-related issues-so you can spend more time making your
business successful. Windows Vista Business with Service Pack 1 is
the definitive choice for your business today and
tomorrow.
The Windows Vista Business operating system is designed to meet the needs of
business organizations of all sizes. For small businesses, Windows Vista
Business will help keep PCs running smoothly and more securely so you will be
less reliant on dedicated IT support. For larger organizations, Windows Vista
Business provides dramatic new infrastructure improvements, enabling your IT
staff to spend less time focused on the day-to-day maintenance of PCs and more
time adding strategic value to your organization. Windows Vista Business also
offers powerful new ways to organize, find, and share information while staying
better connected whether you are in the office or on the road. This helps your
business to run more efficiently than ever before.
And, for growing businesses, the mobile computing enhancements make it easy
to stay connected, both in and out of the office. Windows Vista Business can
help you spend less time on technology support-related issues - so you can spend
more time making your business successful. Windows Vista Business simply
makes it easy to manage how your employees connect to your network and to ensure
that they get more out of their PCs, both in and out of the office. Be
future-ready and lay the IT foundation that your business needs for today and
tomorrow.
For small businesses, Windows Vista Business includes new technology and tools
to ensure your PCs are always up-to-date, more secure, and running smoothly. For
instance, Windows Vista Business will make your PCs safer with built-in
protection against malicious software, or malware. You will be warned of
impending hardware failures long before you risk losing any important business
data. An array of sophisticated new backup technologies helps protect your
information even in the event of a catastrophic hardware failure.
For larger organizations, Windows Vista Business has been designed from
the ground up to improve the deployment and management of the operating system.
For instance, image-based installation is now the default method for installing
the Windows Vista operating system, and the images are no longer
hardware-dependent. These two key design principles enable your organization to
dramatically reduce the number of images you are required to manage and
streamline the process of deploying new PCs and updating existing PCs.
For businesses of any size, Windows Vista Business is designed to allow your
IT department to configure users' systems so that they can log onto their PCs as
standard users instead of as administrators. Windows Vista Business enables the
use of standard user accounts without the compatibility and usability issues
that could occur in previous versions of Windows. This new capability
significantly reduces the likelihood of a malicious attack causing damage to
your organization's PCs.

program to simply add numbers. You need simple, specialized, and lightweight
mini-applications that put information and tasks at your fingertips - no matter
what you're doing. Windows Sidebar boosts your personal productivity by

makes connectivity easier so you can focus on what matters to you.
