Experience Windows Vista and Windows Live - Together

If you're like many people, you rely more and more on your computer in your daily life. You store movies, photos, and important documents on your desktop computer. You shop, bank, communicate, and find information using the Internet. To help you get the most out of your PC, Windows Vista provides integrated, highly customizable features, such as Windows Internet Explorer 7, Windows Media Player, Windows Photo Gallery, and new search and organization features.

Windows Live, a new set of Internet services from Microsoft, takes the extensive customizability of Windows Vista even further to help unify your online world. Windows Live can simplify the way you access, manage, and share all of your online activities and information.

Together, Windows Vista and Windows Live offer a cohesive set of features that span both the offline and online arenas, helping you get the most out of both.
