Windows Vista Overview

Windows Vista has been out for some months now and more and more users are contacting us with equal amounts of problems and praise. I personally waited to take the plunge until our Operating System Research and Development Engineer Rich Correa gave me the green light. I have many custom applications in my job as Webmaster and Internet Presence Manager.

For those of you that are still debating the pro’s and con’s of upgrading to Windows Vista, I thought it would be a good idea to do a recap of Rich’s articles about Vista so you will have the best information all in one place.

Windows Vista Version Options

There are more versions of Vista than any other Operating System geared towards consumers that we have ever seen. If you are unsure of which version of the Vista OS you need, or would like, then read:

Which Version of Vista Is Right For You – in this post Rich goes over in plain English what the differences are between the myriad of Vista versions.

Windows Vista Security Issues

How about security? Everyone knows that Microsoft is always creating patches to keep up with the security problems related to the Internet. If you want to get up to speed on the different levels of security within Vista then read:

Windows Vista Security – in this post Rich goes into detail about the security of Vista as well as talking about the pesky User Account Controls or UAC.

Windows Vista Compatibility Issues

This was my main concern, having so many odd-ball SEO and other marketing tools. A lot of my applications run within the Java Runtime Environment and I had concerns about how well they would fare on Vista. I am fortunate that when I have a question all I have to do is pick up the phone and I can get in touch with an OS expert, for the rest of you read this:

Windows Vista Compatibility With Legacy Programs – by far Rich’s most popular post, here he goes over the compatibility issues between older applications and the new Vista. As you can see by the amount of comments, other people have had issues with Vista and legacy programs. There are comments from other tech wizards with insight on compatibility.

Windows Vista Data Recovery

Now that you have Vista, what do you do if something goes wrong? My wife Victoria wrote the actual Windows Vista press release for our website. You can read it and how Vista and data recovery go together:
