Windows Vista Announcement
"
Bringing clarity to your world.
Today we live in a world of more information, more ways to communicate, more things to do. There is more you can do and even more you can discover."
Microsoft is claiming that "Windows Vista" will help people better manage digital information. "It seamlessly connects you to information, people, and devices the help you get the most out of life."

Microsoft apparently is not wanting to 'date' the software anymore with a '2006' moniker, and trying to avoid confusion of a meaning of the 2 letters like 'XP'. Trying to bring a visual meaning to the name and they say that "Vista" helps people understand that "Windows Vista" will give people a clear view of thier data. "
It seamlessly connects you to information, people, and devices that help you get the most out of life."
This is also a bit of a warning for some businesses that it may be time to upgrade remaining computers to WinXP. This helps with software standardization and helps avoid issues with new applications on old operating systems.
