Windows Vista Home Premium Edition from Microsoft is the premium home version of Microsoft's Vista operating system. Vista Home Premium is designed to meet the needs of advanced home users.

The software also includes the Windows Aero desktop with Flip 3D navigation, support for portable tablet PCs and the Windows Meeting Space for document sharing and group collaboration. Vista Home Premium also ships with the popular Windows Media Center. This module turns your computer into a digital hub that can interact with your Xbox 360 and other compatible home theater devices. Vista Home Premium is an excellent operating system for home users who require advanced multimedia functionality.

• Aero with Flip 3D: Vista features the Aero operating environment. This theme delivers a bold visual style to Windows, complete with transparency and alpha blending. Aero also features live taskbar thumbnails that let you preview the contents of a minimized window before bring it back to your screen. These thumbnails also appear as you alt+tab through open windows. Aero also allows you to select windows via Flip 3D; this allows you to use your mouse's scroll wheel to flip through open windows using an intuitive 3D interface.

• Windows Sidebar with Gadgets: The Windows Sidebar with Gadgets gives you ready access to frequently used information. Gadgets are mini-applications that reside on the sidebar. You can configure gadgets to display the time, the weather, a calendar and more. You can even move gadgets off of the sidebar and place them anywhere on your desktop.

• Windows Media Center: Windows Media Center turns your computer into a digital hub. It gives you easy access to your digital music, movies, TV shows and photos. Media Center has PVR support when used in conjunction with a computer that includes a TV tuner card. It can also be used to stream digital content to an Xbox 360 or compatible media extender.

• Laptop and Tablet Support: Vista sports enhanced capabilities designed specifically for notebook and tablet computers. The Windows Mobility Center allows you to easily adjust display brightness, power settings, volume, wi-fi, external display settings, display orientation and synchronization status from a central location. Vista also supports tablet PCs via pen support, touch screen support, digital ink input and handwriting recognition technology.

• Windows Meeting Space: Windows Meeting Space is designed to facilitate group collaboration. It features tools that allow you to project your desktop to participants in a conference via a Windows Vista-complaint Network Projector, share a file with a group in a common work area and collaborate on editing files. It even supports group work when a network is not present via an ad-hoc communication mode.

• Windows Defender and Firewall: Windows Defender works to protect your computer from viruses, spyware and other threats. Spyware can often cause pop-up ads, spam e-mail and other annoyances on your computer. Vista also includes an integrated firewall that protects your computer from malicious attacks that originate from the Internet.

• Instant Search: Vista features the Instant Search box, conveniently located on the start menu that allows you to quickly search the contents of your computer. Instant Search is a great tool for quickly locating a document based on a word, phrase, property or file name.

• Internet Explorer 7: Internet Explorer 7 is included for web browsing. IE7 is a fully-functional web browser that includes support for tabbed browsing, RSS feeds and advanced web pages. It even features a protected mode for browsing that allows full web functionality but locks out users from changing important settings on the computer itself.
