The new licencing of qt, will also help as we can expect that many KDE applications will migrate to the windows desktops making the treshold for switching to Linux much lower.
Good windows clients will be esential to replacing Exchange that is a big expense in many organizations. Possible candidates as Exchange replacements would be Hula and Kolab. Windows Vista, the next generation of the Windows client operating system, is on target to go into broad consumer beta to approximately 2 million users in the second quarter of Microsoft is on track…. Just remember how Linux looked in and compare how it look now.
Yes, it certainly looks good for Linux. PowerMacX Windows Vista, the next generation of the Windows client operating system, is on target to go into broad consumer beta to approximately 2 million users in the second quarter of Neither consumer nor OEM versions will be available until next year.
For businesses, there are three editions. Windows Vista Business is specifically designed for small and medium enterprises small and medium-sized businesses, is only available to customers participating in Microsoft's Microsoft Software Assurance Software Assurance program.
Windows Vista Ultimate contains the complete feature-set of both the Home and Business combination of both Home Premium and Enterprise editions, as well as a set of Windows Ultimate Extras , and is aimed at enthusiasts.
All editions except Windows Vista Starter support both bit x86 and bit x64 processor architectures. Similar sanctions exist in South Korea. A Vista Capable or equivalent PC is capable of running all editions of Windows Vista although some of the special features and high-end graphics options may require additional or more advanced hardware.
Windows Vista's Basic and Classic interfaces work with virtually any graphics hardware that supports Windows XP or ; accordingly, most discussion around Vista's graphics requirements centers on those for the Windows Aero interface.
Microsoft offers a tool called the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor to assist Windows XP and Vista users in determining what versions of Windows their machine is capable of running. Although the installation media included in retail packages is a bit DVD, customers needing a CD-ROM or customers who wish for a bit install media are able to acquire this media through the Windows Vista Alternate Media program.
The Ultimate edition includes both bit and bit media. The digitally downloaded version of Ultimate includes only one version, either bit or bit, from Windows Marketplace. Maximum limits on physical memory RAM that Windows Vista can address vary depending on the both the Windows version and between bit and bit versions. The following table specifies the maximum physical memory limits supported:.
The total maximum number of logical processors of a PC that Windows Vista supports is: 32 for bit; 64 for bit. Microsoft occasionally releases service packs for its Windows operating systems to fix bugs and add new features. The initial deployment of the service pack caused a number of machines to continually reboot, rendering the machines unusable. This caused Microsoft to temporarily suspend automatic deployment of the service pack until the problem was resolved.
The synchronized release date of the two operating systems reflected the merging of the workstation and server kernels back into a single code base for the first time since Windows Initially, the service pack only supported 5 languages — English, French, Spanish, German and Japanese. Support for the remaining 31 languages was released on April 14, A whitepaper published by Microsoft near the end of August outlined the scope and intent of the service pack, identifying three major areas of improvement: reliability and performance, administration experience, and support for newer hardware and standards.
One area of particular note is performance. Areas of improvement include file copy operations, hibernation, logging off on domain-joined machines, JavaScript parsing in Internet Explorer, network file share browsing, Windows Explorer ZIP file handling, and Windows Disk Defragmenter.
The ability to choose individual drives to defragment is being reintroduced as well. Service Pack 1 introduced support for some new hardware and software standards, notably the exFAT file system, Booting a system using Extensible Firmware Interface on x64 systems was also introduced; this feature had originally been slated for the initial release of Vista but was delayed due to a lack of compatible hardware at the time. Two areas have seen changes in SP1 that have come as the result of concerns from software vendors.
One of these is desktop search; users will be able to change the default desktop search program to one provided by a third party instead of the Microsoft desktop search program that comes with Windows Vista, and desktop search programs will be able to seamlessly tie in their services into the operating system.
These changes come in part due to complaints from Google , whose Google Desktop Search application was hindered by the presence of Vista's built-in desktop search. In June , Google claimed that the changes being introduced for SP1 "are a step in the right direction, but they should be improved further to give consumers greater access to alternate desktop search providers".
The other area of note is a set of new security APIs being introduced for the benefit of antivirus software that currently relies on the unsupported practice of patching the kernel see Kernel Patch Protection. An update to DirectX 10 , named DirectX Graphics cards will be required to support DirectX SP1 includes a kernel An updated downloadable version of the Group Policy Management Console was released soon after the service pack.
SP1 enables support for hotpatching, a reboot-reduction servicing technology designed to maximize uptime. It works by allowing Windows components to be updated or "patched" while they are still in use by a running process.
Hotpatch-enabled update packages are installed via the same methods as traditional update packages, and will not trigger a system reboot. In addition to a number of security and other fixes, a number of new features have been added.
Windows Vista and Windows Server share a single service pack binary, reflecting the fact that their code bases were joined with the release of Server Service Pack 2 is not a cumulative update meaning that Service Pack 1 must be installed first. It includes major new components that shipped with Windows 7 , as well as updated runtime libraries.
It consists of the following components:. Although extensive, the Platform Update does not bring Windows Vista to the level of features and performance offered by Windows 7. In July , Microsoft introduced a web-based advertising campaign called the "Mojave Experiment", that depicts a group of people who are asked to evaluate the newest operating system from Microsoft, calling it Windows 'Mojave'.
Participants are first asked about Vista, if they have used it, and their overall satisfaction with Vista on a scale of 1 to They are then shown a demo of some of the new operating system's features, and asked their opinion and satisfaction with it on the same 1 to 10 scale. After respondents rate "Mojave", they are then told that they were really shown a demo of Windows Vista. The object was to test "A theory: If people could see Windows Vista firsthand, they would like it.
The "experiment" has been criticized for deliberate selection of positive statements and not addressing all aspects of Vista. A Gartner research report predicted that Vista business adoption in would overtake that of XP during the same time frame As of January , Forrester Research had indicated that almost one third of North American and European corporations had started deploying Vista.
At a May conference, a Microsoft Vice President said "Adoption and deployment of Windows Vista has been slightly ahead of where we had been with XP" for big businesses. Its successors included Windows Phone 8 and Windows 10 Mobile.
