Windows Vista®
Home Basic is the safer and easier Windows operating system
for your basic home computing needs-from viewing photos
to writing e-mail and browsing the Internet.
Here are the top reasons to buy or upgrade to Windows
Vista®
Home Basic:
The power to find everything on your computer and on
the Internet*
Windows Vista Easy Transfer starts by seamlessly transferring
your files from your old to new PC. Once up and running,
you'll be able to quickly find and launch applications,
files, e-mail, and Internet Favorites. Use keyword "tags,"
flexible viewing options, a star rating system for music
and pictures, and Instant Search capabilities to organize
your files and find them again quickly and easily. Searching
for information on the Internet is easy with Windows Internet
Explorer® 7, which includes Web searching right from the
browser, and tabbed browsing so you can browse multiple
web pages simultaneously in one window. Windows Photo
Gallery and Windows Movie Maker make it easy to organize,
edit and share a lifetime of photo and video memories
with family and friends.
A more secure environment to help protect you in an unpredictable
world
Spend less time fixing problems and enjoy a faster, more
reliable online experience with Windows Vista. Windows
Defender automatically scans for spyware, allowing you
to remove harmful software so your PC can continue performing
the way it's supposed to. A new Internet Explorer Protected
Mode and anti-phishing technology help protect your PC
and your personal and financial information when you're
online. Parental Controls help protect your loved ones
with settings to monitor usage, configure time limits,
limit access to inappropriate games, and set browsing
controls for safer computer use. Performance Self Tuning
and diagnostics help keep your PC running at its best.
Games and music management tools that make your entertainment
even easier to love
See it more clearly with organizational tools that make
it quick to find, sort, and play your favorite songs and
games the way you want. Hit the latest high-performance
games with stunning 3D visuals-from simple to spectacular,
there's a game for every age and ability, on your PC or
online. Use Windows Media® Player 11 to rip CDs to your
PC, get new tracks with an online music service,* enjoy
an easy connection to your portable devices, and play
music on other PCs connected to your home network.
The flexibility to connect more easily wherever you
are
Unplug your home laptop and experience the freedom of
using your PC virtually anywhere you go. Network Center
makes it easy to set up and manage a new wireless network
so you can access your Internet service* from virtually
anywhere in your house. Use Sync Center to help keep your
laptop synchronized with your desktop PC, digital media
player, Smartphone, and other devices-and always stay
up-to-date with your latest music, calendar, contact info,
and more.
