Product Story

Windows Vista delivers many enhancements to search technology that enable people to find anything on their computers and the Internet, quickly and easily. Live icons enable users to quickly preview documents and go directly to the items they need, without the hassle of navigating complex file menus. New Search Folders change the nature of search, providing a variety of quick and easy ways to find and organize documents based on the information they contain rather than the file name—no matter where they're located on a user's computer.

With the 2007 Office system and Exchange Server 2007, people can search for information from their desktop, from within Web clients such as Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access, and also from mobile devices for quick access to valuable information—anytime, anywhere. Across many of these programs, innovative tools for searching e-mail, handwriting, graphics, and even audio recordings with electronic notebooks have been integrated.

Because business insight is valuable to all employees, from executives on down, business intelligence tools are available within many of the programs, including personalized "report centers," scorecards, dashboards, personalized portal sites, and server-based spreadsheets. It's now easier to access data from key corporate systems from within the Microsoft Office environment—with a new Business Data Catalogue and Microsoft Office Open XML Formats, and with Exchange Server 2007, Web services can be used to integrate access to e-mail, calendar, contacts, and other inbox data with your organization's business and service-oriented applications.
