Windows Vista in Developer Eyes







Microsoft has to admit that Windows Vista fails to ring the bell in PC market. Major young people who are gamers might hold to upgrade to Windows Vista because of directX 10 games issue.
Talking about cost saving - Windows Vista offers a better power-management setting, which will put PC into sleep mode, after one/more hours of idle. Windows XP default setting will leave computer running idle and stand by. Stand by is not reliable compare to Sleep mode by Windows Vista. A better power management can do cost saving, and this benefit is taken by Notebook Vendors releasing their new laptops with Vista installed.

So why is Vista special in developer eyes?

  • Vista offers "speech recognition" -- it'll be a new challenge for developer
  • Known as Windows Workflow Foundation Application with new Visual Studio "Orcas"
  • Running under .Net Framework 3.5
  • Vista has Sync Center to help developer building Windows Mobile Application
