Microsoft Vista will soon be available. Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933, will teach you how to use Vista and Vista Business.
Microsoft Vista is coming, which you probably already know. Microsoft says that all five versions of Vista will be out by the middle of 2006. If this happens, it will be the longest time between Windows versions ever.
Yes, you heard me correctly: I said "all five versions." Microsoft says that older versions of their operating system, like Windows XP, were more focused on the hardware than on how people actually used their computers. MS says that this won't be the case with Vista, so they're going to give businesses and home PC users different versions of Vista. In this article, we'll quickly go over some of the features of Microsoft Vista Business.
Windows Vista Business is a solution for all businesses, no matter how big or small they are. In response to worries about the security of Microsoft's past products, Vista Business will have built-in protections against malware. And for those of you (okay, us) who never quite have all the information on their PCs backed up properly, Vista will not only help you fix catastrophic failures before they happen, but new features like Windows Backup and Volume Shadow Copy will make sure you never have to pray for a hard drive to come back to life because you're behind on your backups.
The enterprise-level networks that use Windows Vista Enterprise will get all of these features and more. One of these is Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption, which is made to encrypt a whole hard drive. BitLocker will help keep your company's intellectual property safe, even if someone steals the PC it's on.
