New features are designed to improve security in corporate, mobile and roaming environments, as well as reducing the total cost of ownership of PCs through simplified management, increased automation of tasks and improved diagnostics.
Windows Vista beta 1 has a built-in beta 1 version of the browser Internet Explorer 7, which includes features designed to help protect against malicious websites or malware and against phishing and spoofing attacks.
The first beta version of Windows Server, previously codenamed 'Longhorn', has also been released to participants in the Technical Beta Program, including hardware and software manufacturers, vendors and developers. The new server operating system is due for full release in 2007.
Windows Vista beta 1 also includes the first beta of Windows Presentation Foundation, formerly known as “Avalon”, and Windows Communication Foundation, formerly codenamed “Indigo”, which are part of the WinFX programming model.
