Windows Vista is an operating system released in several variations
developed by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and
business desktops, laptops, tablet PCs, and media center PCs. Prior to
its announcement on July 22, 2005, Windows Vista was known by its
codename "Longhorn."[4] Development was completed on November 8, 2006;
over the following three months it was released in stages to computer
hardware and software manufacturers, business customers, and retail
channels. On January 30, 2007, it was released worldwide,[5] and was
made available for purchase and download from Microsoft's website.[6]
The release of Windows Vista came more than five years after the
introduction of its predecessor, Windows XP, the longest time span
between successive releases of Microsoft Windows desktop operating
systems. It was succeeded by Windows 7 which was released to
manufacturing on July 22, 2009, and for the general public on October
22, 2009.



Windows Vista contains many changes and new features, including an
updated graphical user interface and visual style dubbed Aero, a
redesigned search function, multimedia tools including Windows DVD
Maker, and redesigned networking, audio, print, and display sub-systems.
Vista aims to increase the level of communication between machines on a
home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files
and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista includes version
3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write
applications without traditional Windows APIs.



Microsoft's primary stated objective with Windows Vista was to improve
the state of security in the Windows operating system.[7] One common
criticism of Windows XP and its predecessors was their commonly
exploited security vulnerabilities and overall susceptibility to
malware, viruses and buffer overflows. In light of this, Microsoft
chairman Bill Gates announced in early 2002 a company-wide "Trustworthy
Computing initiative" which aimed to incorporate security into every
aspect of software development at the company. Microsoft stated that it
prioritized improving the security of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003
above finishing Windows Vista, thus delaying its completion.[8]



While these new features and security improvements have garnered
positive reviews, Vista has also been the target of much criticism and
negative press. Criticism of Windows Vista has targeted its high system
requirements, its more restrictive licensing terms, the inclusion of a
number of new digital rights management technologies aimed at
restricting the copying of protected digital media, lack of
compatibility with some pre-Vista hardware and software, and the number
of authorization prompts for User Account Control. As a result of these
and other issues, Windows Vista had seen initial adoption and
satisfaction rates lower than Windows XP.[9] However, with an estimated
330 million Internet users as of January 2009, it had been announced
that Vista usage had surpassed Microsoft’s pre-launch two-year-out
expectations of achieving 200 million users.[10][11] At the release of
Windows 7 (October 2009), Windows Vista (with approximately 400 million
Internet users) was the second most widely used operating system on the
Internet with an approximately 18.6% market share, the most widely used
being Windows XP with an approximately 63.3% market share.[12] As of May
2010[update], Windows Vista's market share estimates range from 15.26%
to 26.04%.[13][14]

The Windows Longhorn logoMicrosoft began work on Windows Vista, known at
the time by its codename Longhorn, in May 2001,[15] five months before
the release of Windows XP. It was originally expected to ship sometime
late in 2003 as a minor step between Windows XP and Blackcomb, which was
planned to be the company's next major operating system release.
Gradually, "Longhorn" assimilated many of the important new features and
technologies slated for Blackcomb, resulting in the release date being
pushed back several times. Many of Microsoft's developers were also
re-tasked to build updates to Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 to
strengthen security.[8] Faced with ongoing delays and concerns about
feature creep, Microsoft announced on August 27, 2004, that it had
revised its plans. The original Longhorn, based on the Windows XP source
code, was scrapped, and Longhorn's development started anew, building
on the Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 codebase, and re-incorporating
only the features that would be intended for an actual operating system
release. Some previously announced features such as WinFS were dropped
or postponed, and a new software development methodology called the
Security Development Lifecycle was incorporated in an effort to address
concerns with the security of the Windows codebase which is programmed
in C, C++ and Assembly.[16][17]



After Longhorn was named Windows Vista in July 2005, an unprecedented
beta-test program was started, involving hundreds of thousands of
volunteers and companies. In September of that year, Microsoft started
releasing regular Community Technology Previews (CTP) to beta testers.
The first of these was distributed at the 2005 Microsoft Professional
Developers Conference, and was subsequently released to beta testers and
Microsoft Developer Network subscribers. The builds that followed
incorporated most of the planned features for the final product, as well
as a number of changes to the user interface, based largely on feedback
from beta testers. Windows Vista was deemed feature-complete with the
release of the "February CTP", released on February 22, 2006, and much
of the remainder of work between that build and the final release of the
product focused on stability, performance, application and driver
compatibility, and documentation. Beta 2, released in late May, was the
first build to be made available to the general public through
Microsoft's Customer Preview Program. It was downloaded by over five
million people. Two release candidates followed in September and
October, both of which were made available to a large number of
users.[18]



While Microsoft had originally hoped to have the consumer versions of
the operating system available worldwide in time for Christmas 2006, it
was announced in March 2006 that the release date would be pushed back
to January 2007, in order to give the company–and the hardware and
software companies which Microsoft depends on for providing device
drivers–additional time to prepare. Development of Windows Vista came to
an end when Microsoft announced that it had been finalized on November
8, 2006.[19] Windows Vista cost Microsoft 6 billion dollars to
develop.[20]
