New look at Windows Vista
Latest preview showcases several features added to system
By TODD BISHOP
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER
Microsoft Corp. released another "community technology preview" of Windows Vista, adding a number of new features to the preliminary version of the upcoming operating system.
Monday's preview added new security features and updated the program's on-screen appearance, giving a further sense for where the company is headed with the new Windows version.
The operating system is Microsoft's biggest moneymaker, used on most of the world's PCs.
It was the third such preview, issued for use and testing by software developers, information-technology professionals and others along those lines.
But Microsoft declined to give a date for the second beta release of Windows Vista, a more formal preliminary version that will also be made available to some end users.
The first beta was issued in July, and the second beta was originally expected this month, but the company said it won't have more details on its timing until early next year.
Microsoft has said a final version of Windows Vista will be released in the second half of 2006.
The program, previously known as Longhorn, was delayed repeatedly, and competitors such as Apple Computer have beaten Microsoft to market with some key features, such as fast file searching.
But Microsoft is pointing to a range of improvements in an effort to build interest in the new Windows version.
Among the latest additions:
# New parental controls, such as the ability to limit the time a child can use a PC.
# The ability to use a USB drive to add memory to a PC, giving it more space to keep programs and data for quick access by the central processor.
# Updated versions of Microsoft's Windows Media Player software for playing media files and Windows Media Center software for accessing media via remote control in a living room. Microsoft promises more details on both at the Consumer Electronics Show next month.
# The ability to turn a computer off or put it to sleep by pushing one button, as with a TV or consumer electronics device.
# Security improvements, including a new version of Microsoft's anti-spyware program, now called Windows Defender.
# New visual touches, including a redesigned start menu and a new look for open windows, giving them more of the translucent appearance expected in the final Windows Vista version.
# New encryption techniques to prevent unauthorized access to data on a stolen laptop.
Microsoft said last month that it expected to integrate all of the planned features into the operating system earlier than it has in past versions, allowing more time for its programmers to work out bugs before the final release.
The company issued the first "community technical preview" in September, promising monthly releases at the time, but it missed a November release.
