If you get TechNet or MSDN, you have access to Beta 2 of Windows Vista now. If you don’t, then I am afraid you will have to wait a little bit longer. To find out when you can download if you do not have access, go to http://www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsvista/get_it.mspx to pre-register for the Community Tech Preview.
The official Microsoft page at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/features/forbiz/smallbiz.mspx for information as to why it is applicable for small businesses is a little thin today. However, I have been talking to small businesses and small business partners for a while and the 3 hot topics on Vista appear to be:
-
Make me safer
-
Make it easier to do what I want to do
-
Make my PC more reliable
Depending on your point of view, these are either really simple, or really complex, but in terms of Vista, this is how I think it breaks down. There are obviously thousands of Vista features, but these too me start to make it a no-brainer
Make me safer
-
-
-
-
Make it easier
Make my PC reliable
This is just a quick overview – I will blog more over the coming weeks, linking to Vista features and how it impacts solutions delivered by Microsoft Partners.
