Experience the efficiency of Vista

Windows Vista improves the efficiency of common PC activities, such as document creation, collaboration with colleagues and partners, email management, and Web browsing. Windows Vista is far better than simple desktop search when managing documents, emails, photos, music, and other information, providing a powerful and flexible way to visualize and organize PC information. In addition, shared files are simpler and Web browsing and email sending and receiving are more secure.

Search
Windows Vista uses indexing technology and search algorithms to provide fast and scalable desktop search, which not only optimizes local search, but also optimizes distributed data solutions, for example, you can instantly search for another Vista PC or Longhorn server. Using the desktop search tool integrated with Windows Vista, you can search for files immediately by name, metadata tag, or any word in a file or email. In the embedded "Quick Search" box, you only need to Enter a few letters in the name of the application to be started, and then press Enter to start the application in Windows Vista. Search can also be filtered in several powerful ways to save the search for reuse.

Redirect Folder/offline folder
Enterprises that focus on the security of end user data will redirect or "Roam" your folders (such as "My Documents") to the server. To ensure work efficiency, you should enable client caching so that data can still be used when you are offline or not connected to the server. All redirection and offline content is indexed by the Windows Vista PC. Therefore, all Windows Vista search, visualization, and organization functions should be reapplied to this content.

Windows Vista to Windows Vista

By default, the search function only searches for local computers, but you can use distributed search to instantly search for public folders on another Windows Vista computer in the domain or home network. With distributed search, the target Windows Vista computer can quickly provide search results. Desktop visualization and organization

Although desktop search is an essential tool for effective information management, it cannot meet all information management needs. Windows Vista can view and process files in ways that were previously unfeasible.

The new activity icons help you view traditional system icons in the past, allowing you to view Real-Time previews of applications, documents, photos and videos, and basic data. Windows Vista allows you to clearly view the content and go directly to the desired project-saving you and your organization time and improving productivity.

Attribute, quick search box, and enhanced Column Title

New Controls (such as the "quick search" box and "enhanced Column Titles") make it easy for you to manage a large amount of display data. You can add or edit file attributes or metadata (such as keywords on the Document Author, Song artist, or image) on the file, and then use it to find and organize content stored on the PC.

Windows Vista extracts the physical location of a file. In this way, you no longer have to remember the location where the specific file is stored. Instead, you only need to know the general attributes of the file-in fact, as long as you remember the file in any situation, in Windows Vista, you can find the file.

Windows Vista provides many ways to tag existing files, including the Navigation Pane or Preview pane. The navigation pane displays folders and virtual folders in a widget. You can select multiple projects and drag these projects to any virtual folder in the Navigation Pane. These files are marked with the given attributes in real time. You can also select one or more files, then, you can directly change the properties in the Preview pane. You can also add metadata to some files when saving files.

The browser's "Quick Search" box and "column title" controls help you effectively narrow the range of selected data. In the "quick search" box, you can type a name or the first few letters of any display attribute to quickly filter the displayed files and display only matching items. The new "column title" drop-down menu allows you to select only the values to be selected.

The "column title" also has a stack view that displays data in a more dynamic manner-this view is the view of the currently displayed data, but is organized by stack based on the specific column title.

Folder and virtual folder

Folders are an important part of the storage model in Windows Vista. In Windows Vista, you can still save the content to a folder. However, when searching for files and folders, Windows Vista enables tools such as the "quick search" box and "Column Title, folder can be better utilized, which is a very effective improvement.

Windows Vista introduces a new concept of organization, called virtual folders. A virtual folder is just a saved search and is instantly searched when a folder is opened. Then, as long as you click this virtual folder, Windows Vista will run the search and provide the results almost immediately. Windows Vista provides many pre-configured standard virtual folders, but you can also create virtual folders by yourself.

Interface

　　Share

Small businesses and home users are confused about sharing files and folders between users and computers. Windows Vista eliminates technical barriers, allowing you to easily share your information by seamlessly integrating shared data with acquisition, creation, and storage data. In particular, you can use the new sharing Wizard to share content anywhere in Windows Vista. It is easier to share files and folders with colleagues in the same domain: On the same screen, you only need to select one or more colleagues who provide creden, on the Enterprise Active Directory Server, set the access level for the content.

　　Internet Explorer

Windows Vista has greatly improved Internet Explorer. In addition to security and confidentiality features and improvements, Windows Vista Internet Explorer Beta 1 also outlines how Microsoft re-designs Internet Explorer to make daily tasks easier-for example, option-style browsing, inline search, and printing by narrowing down to the appropriate mode. It also provides some new tools that allow you to directly access the required information through the built-in Web Feeds support (also called RSS, which is truly simple integration. Windows Vista Internet Explorer also simplifies and updates the user interface, improving the platform of Web developers.

　　Web Improvement

Windows Vista includes some improvements that are commonly required to provide a wide range of flexible platforms for Web developers-such as transparent Portable Network Graphics (PNG ), allows Web designers to create excellent overlapping page designs.

　　Metro documentation

Knowledge workers can securely collaborate with each other using new, easy-to-create, and XML-Based Fixed-Format documents (the code name is "Metro. This format can be directly created from any application. It is just a page-by-page view of the content, just as it is printed using a printer. The Metro document is fully consistent with the original document and retains all necessary resources such as fonts and images to be displayed. In Windows Vista Beta 1, the Metro document does not require you to view the original creation application, but can be viewed in its included Metro Viewer. Internet Explorer 7 hosts Metro Viewer on any Windows Vista computer that has installed the WinFX Runtime library API. Metro Viewer can also be hosted by a Windows XP Computer with Internet Explorer installed, but WinFX must also be installed. The Metro document format is not only ideal for sharing content in ways unrelated to applications, but also an ideal archive format. Microsoft provides free Metro license, which means that the format can be created and used on many different platforms and devices of different categories, ensuring that Metro documents can be well integrated.

　　Email

The Windows Vista email client solves severe problems such as spam and attachment viruses. It also provides some features that allow you to search and manage more and more received emails.

The email client has a built-in spam filter, which takes effect automatically and does not need to be adjusted or configured. With the powerful embedded "Quick Search" box, you can find emails in an intuitive and almost instant manner. You can also Search for emails with other files in Search Explorer. All emails are stored in the new mail storage, which greatly improves the reliability compared with Outlook Express.
