As Microsoft VP Mike Nash said,Windows 7 will bring dramatic changes to Windows.Microsoft is preparing a major update to its Vista operating system. Following the success of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 last spring, MS have been working hard on Windows Vista Service Pack 2.
Windows Vista Service Pack 2 will enter beta testing this Wednesday,Oct28.MS is going to start by providing a small group of Technology Adoption Program customers with Windows Vista SP2 Beta for evaluation this Wednesday, October 29. The final release date for Windows Vista SP2 will be based on quality.
Microsoft has said that Windows 7 will include something called pervasive multi-touch. That's a fancy way of saying that you'll be able to run the operating sytem and its underlying applets via a touch screen.Windows 7 will also ship with a new version of Internet Explorer, but that's on the drawing board anyway, and isn't necessarily tied to the operating system.
The Emerging Highlights:
- Windows Vista SP2 adds Windows Search 4.0 for faster and improved relevancy in searches.
- Windows Vista SP2 contains the Bluetooth 2.1 Feature Pack supporting the most recent specification for Bluetooth Technology.
- Ability to record data on to Blu-Ray media natively in Windows Vista.
- Adds Windows Connect Now (WCN) to simplify Wi-Fi Configuration.
- Windows Vista SP2 enables the exFAT file system to support UTC timestamps, which allows correct file synchronization across time zones.
