Thomas&#8217; slide deck was also marketing-led, but I was pleased to see that he only followed it loosely and talked about the technology instead.  These were some of the points that jumped out for me:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>PC technology trends are shifting.  64-bit computing is finally going mainstream (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2005\/11\/x64-finally-comes-of-age.htm\">the Longhorn server wave of products will be 64-bit only<\/a>).  At the same time, the x86 architecture is proliferating with new compact PCs (and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2006\/01\/apple-launches-intel-macs-and-new-ipod.htm\">even new Intel-based Apple Macs<\/a>).  Graphics processor improvements are exceeding Moore&#8217;s law (hence the reason for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2006\/02\/windows-vista-doesnt-really-need-new.htm\">designing the operating system around graphical capabilities<\/a>). Networking is increasingly wireless.  Multi-core CPUs are now appearing on the market.  Storage availability is rising, with a tremendous variety in flash-based devices.  Memory is faster (and we&#8217;re using more of it).  Flat-screen monitors are now the norm, getting larger (and drawing less power than their CRT-based counterparts).  Windows Vista is designed to take advantage of all of these technology trends.<\/li>\n<li>Windows Vista has new some new\/updated administrative tools including enhancements to computer management (the diagnostic console and reliability monitor) and a vastly improved event viewer (featuring many more logs, and an XML view).<\/li>\n<li>My recent post about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2006\/02\/opening-multiple-browser-home-pages-in.htm\">opening multiple home pages in Firefox<\/a> was thanks to Thomas highlighting this feature in Internet Explorer (IE) 7, along with tabbed browsing, RSS integration and a phishing filter which highlights suspect URLs in yellow and has a feedback mechanism so that often-reported sites show up with a red highlight).  One item that I think is particularly cool is the Quick Tabs view with a thumbnail of each open browser tab.<\/li>\n<li>Control Panel got bigger (more granularity).<\/li>\n<li>Desktop search actually works.<\/li>\n<li>Fast user switching is available for domain-connected PCs and there is the new user access protection (UAP) functionality.  For example, if I try to change the date\/time (an incorrect time would be critical to Kerberos) on a Vista machine, UAP kicks in and prompts me before allowing the change. I&#8217;m going to try and run using an unprivileged account and switch users where I absolutely need to be an administrator. As Thomas put it, this is effectively helping out the naive without holding back advanced users.<\/li>\n<li>On the deployment side &#8211; forget everything you know about NT\/2000\/XP deployment.  Windows Image (.WIM) files replace setup folders and there are new tools such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/technet\/windowsvista\/expert\/ximage.mspx\">ximage <\/a>to manipulate them.<\/li>\n<li>Although not deployed by default in Windows Vista, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2006\/02\/microsofts-next-generation-command.htm\">Microsoft command shell <\/a>(codenamed Monad) can be used to automate a variety of functions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Windows Vista is a huge investment (both for Microsoft and for organisations upgrading from Windows 2000\/XP).  I have to agree with Thomas when he says that instead of concentrating on the negative (the current version is buggy, slow, and there is stuff missing), let&#8217;s remember that this is a beta product!  I don&#8217;t really care about the new interface (I think many corporates will find this a burden both in terms of hardware requirements and end-user re-training) but there are a whole host of features that I can&#8217;t wait to get into production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thomas Lee&#8216;s second session at the recent IT Forum &#8217;05 highlights (part 2) event was a Windows Vista overview and roadmap.
