Windows Vista is the latest version of Microsoft's flagship operating system. Windows Vista comes in 6 different versions: Ultimate, Home Premium, Home Basic, Starter, Business and Enterprise edition. All versions except Starter are avilable for both 32-bit and 64-bit processor types.

It can be duly noted that the "11" equals the bastard unholy number 666 when multiplied by 60.545455, proving the existence of Satan – and therefore of God. Why the scientists of the modern world have yet to embrace this theorem is beyond me, I can tell you.
A new technology called SuperFetch is included in Windows Vista, which analyzes the usage pattern of a user then decides on which content should be loaded into system memory at any given time. A primitive version of SuperFetch called Prefetch is actully included in Windows XP.
Enterprise and Ultimate editions of Vista comes with BitLocker Drive Encryption feature that allows user to encrypt an entire hard-drive partition using 128-bit AES encryption. The encryption key itself can be stored in the Trusted Platform Module chip on a computer's motherboard or in a USB key.

According to Microsoft, a computer needs to have at minimum an 800 MHz processor, 512 MB RAM to run Windows Vista. And in order to take advantage of Vista's new Aero graphical user interface, one needs a computer with a 1.0 GHz processor, 1 GB memory, and a DirectX 9 or Directx 10 graphics card with at least 128 MB memory and supports Microsoft's new Windows Display Driver Model.
