There was an announcement today in my college informing us that there will a 'Microsoft Acdemia Seminar' on 21st Jan in my city where Microsoft Windows Vista will be launched. I am just wondering if India is the first country where it is being launched. I guess its already launched all over the world.

Hi Nisar,

I don't think it is being released in the UK any time soon.

**Nisar** · 23-01-2006

I was wrong. There was no mention on 21st Jan abt Windows Vista and it wasnt lauched either. Maybe our college got the wrong information.

But there were some new softwares that were launched. We were given an original copy of C# 2005 Express Edition though.

**jephree** · 27-02-2006

A Vista for all seasons

Microsoft has decided to offer six distinct versions of the Windows update. Here they are from simplest to most tricked-out.

Windows Vista Starter Sold only on new PCs in emerging markets such as India and Thailand. Runs only on 32-bit machines, and will be able to handle only a limited number of programs at a time.

Windows Vista Home Basic Comparable to XP Home. Has the security and search abilities particular to Vista, but does not offer its fancy graphics or high-end media features.

Windows Vista Home Premium A higher-end option for consumers. Adds support for Vista's new graphics as well as Media Center and Tablet PC features.

Windows Vista Business Similar to XP Professional. It's the mainstream corporate OS; also contains extra tools for small businesses.

Windows Vista Enterprise Available only to customers with volume licenses. Includes all of the features of Vista Business, with the addition of encryption, Unix services and virtual machine capabilities.

Windows Vista Ultimate Combines the features of Windows Vista Enterprise and Windows Vista Home Premium to offer the highest-end version of Windows yet.

Note: Microsoft will also offer "N" versions of Vista Home Basic and Vista Business in Europe that have Windows Media Player removed.
