Windows Vista 

Microsoft’s Windows Vista promises many improvements for business users, and will simplify the end-user experience. However, to make the most of these changes, organisations planning to move to Windows Vista need to ensure that they have planned their deployment. You may need to consider:

  • Evaluating the new operating system and the benefits it can bring to your business
  • Deploying the operating system on new and existing machines and managing application compatibility
  • Maintaining machines running Windows Vista and Office 2007
  • Ensuring that people across the business are trained and ready to use the new systems so that the gain in productivity is immediately realised

So where do you start?

 QA-IQ’s technology experts will help you   through the whole of the life cycle to implement Microsoft’s Windows Vista and Office 2007. We have courses that will take you through the evaluation stage, through the planning and deployment phase, through to implementation and maintenance of the operating systems and applications.

So, whether you are a deployment specialist or you are working towards your ‘Enterprise Desktop Support Technician’ certification, QA-IQ has the knowledge to make you a skilled engineer on Windows Vista desktops.

As an end-user getting started with Microsoft’s Windows Vista, you’ll find it straightforward, with the easy to follow navigation on Microsoft’s website guiding you through the process.  The Windows Vista home page will give you the first taste of this with an informative page and four buttons; ‘See’, ‘Learn’, ‘Choose’ and ‘Buy.’

Click the ‘See’ button, and you will get a first look at new features such as the ‘Aero’ interface, Windows Flip 3D and its brilliant ‘Instant Search’ tool. Clicking the ‘Learn’ button will provide you with information on all the new features and their benefits. ‘Choose’ provides a guide to help you find the appropriate version for your circumstances. Finally, clicking the ‘Buy’ button will take you through steps to check you have the right hardware, and tools to check compatibility before you choose the right place from which to buy.
