Pre-SP1 Improvements To Windows Vista

Hundreds of improvements based on direct customer feedback Over 20 Reliability and Compatibility updates delivered to all users using Windows UpdateMany updates (hotfixes) provided to OEMs and enterprises that address specific hardware compatibility, or enterprise deployment issues

Customers can choose which updates they want, and install them with the technology best for their organization

Windows Update (WU) Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) System Center Configuration Manager or 3rd party tools

We will continue to deliver security, compatibility, reliability, and performance updates, up to SP1 and beyond, as they are needed

Updates to compatible

drivers continue to improve

performance. For example, updated

drivers have improved battery

life for many models of PCs

43,000 new devices and components supported on

Windows Update since Windows

Reliability ImprovementsSP1 addresses a significant portion of crashes caused by Microsoft code

Microsoft analyzes a large set of the most common system crashes and application failures reported by Windows Vista customersWith SP1, we fixed the majority of application and OS crashes analyzed that are traced to Microsoft codeEarly SP1 tests show Microsoft more than doubled the mean number of hours between 'disruptions' as compared to RTM

Improves computer-to-computer wireless connections success rate

Improves the success of peer-to-peer connections, such as Windows Meeting Space or Remote Assistance applications, when both PCs are behind symmetric firewallsGreat partnerships with software and

hardware vendors have led to updates to devices and programs that

were causing some of the most commonly occurring failures

Performance Improvements

SP1 brings improvements copying files and browsing network shares

SP1 improves many of the most common file copy scenariosThe copy progress time estimate will now appear within about two secondsSignificantly improves the speed of moving

a directory with many files underneathSP1 Improves the performance of browsing network file shares by consuming less bandwidth

More responsiveImprovements to reduce the time to resume from standby and hibernateMore responsive while copying large files, in many casesReduces the time it takes to return to the user’s session when using the Photo screensaver

For more information – there is a 40 page whitepaper*Comparisons based on using the Sleep feature in Windows Vista on a typical Pentium 4 with a 17-inch CRT monitor.

Environmental impact :• Each PC left on when not in use results in over a half ton of

greenhouse gas annually• Ten PCs left on when not in use results in the equivalent of

one more car on the road in terms of greenhouse gas contribution annually.

• For every 6 PCs left on when not in use, an acre of trees is required to sequester the greenhouse gas that is released due to generating the power to leave them fully on while not in use

New Ways to Work

“…young workers often move seamlessly between platforms, starting a conversation on a social network, for example, and continuing it via text…workers expect to have access to their own information at work, and to work information at home”(CIO Insight: “Bridging the IT Generation Gap)

The People FactorYounger workers bring a new set of expectations to the marketplace. The good news: IT may have some built-in advantages for meeting the challenge.(Society for Information Management)

Analysts: MomentumMarch 2008Worldwide Windows Client Operating Environments 2008–2012 Forecast: Windows Vista Momentum Picks Up SteamBy Al Gillen

“Forrester expects at least one-third of enterprises to begin to deploy Windows Vista enterprise wide by mid-2008 as more applications will be certified, hardware will be refreshed and ready to run Windows Vista smoothly, and price points will make compatible machines more affordable than they are today.”

“Organizations' Windows Vista deployment plans generally are running late. With many Vista deployments set to begin in late 2008 or early 2009, and with Microsoft discussing the next release for late 2009, pressure will mount to skip Windows Vista entirely. We believe this is a risky proposition.”

SystemWide-Scale Enterprise Deployments Of Windows Vista Will Start In Mid-

2008by Benjamin Gray

Looking forward, we expect that 2008 will mark the beginning of a much stronger adoption curve for Windows Vista on the business side, especially now that Windows Server 2008 has launched.“

Planning for a Good Desktop ExperienceWith Windows Vista and Windows 7Optimize Standard Hardware Specifications to Meet Your Needs

•Validate hardware performance against your intended application stack•Be sure to consider:

• Whether you have dedicated video RAM• Usage of Aero User Interface• Microsoft Office 2007• Microsoft Office Communicator• Other 3rd party applications

• 2GB of RAM (~$25 incremental cost at time of manufacture)• 2 Ghz or faster processors• Compatible graphics adapters

• Dedicated GPU• 7200RPM hard drives
