Product Story

Windows Vista helps your company better manage users and computers that require different levels of network security access. It also provides better protection from Web-based threats like malware and phishing technologies. And when computers that don't possess the latest security updates try to access company resources, they can be automatically blocked. The ability to target multiple types of hardware with a single operating system image simplifies deployment, and Windows Vista also supports older applications so your organization can continue using existing resources.

The 2007 Office system and Exchange Server 2007 also simplify deployment with new customization and migration tools, and they provide new levels of protection against threats delivered in e-mail such as viruses, spam, and spoof e-mails from phishing sites. Exchange Server 2007 also enables Exchange Hosted Services for flexible and affordable e-mail filtering over the Internet. The new advanced architecture of Exchange Server 2007 further supports increased mailbox sizes, so communications can remain on the server for security-enhanced and cost-effective access.

Fewer system restarts and overall better reliability with Windows Vista, the 2007 Office system, and Exchange Server 2007 mean that your people will experience fewer interruptions to their work—enabling them to be more productive in and out of the office.
