Summary
Windows Vista, for the first time, makes it possible for users to run the system in more secure ways, thanks largely to advances in the way that user accounts are handled. Parental Controls
Although Windows XP was the first version of Windows to make user accounts truly usable, Windows Vista is the first to make them safe for children. User Account Control
In order to make the system more secure, Microsoft has architected Windows Vista such that all of the tasks you can perform in the system are divided into two groups, those that require administrative privileges and those that don't. Understanding User Accounts
Starting with Windows XP, Microsoft began really pushing the concept of user accounts to consumers. That's because XP, unlike previous Windows versions, was based on the Windows NT code base, and NT was developed to be a mission-critical competitor to business operating systems such as Unix. Summary
Although much is made of Vista's new user interface, its new security features are, beyond a doubt, the number one reason to consider upgrading to this new operating system. Low-Level Security Features
Windows Vista includes a vast array of low-level security features. One of the most dramatic is service hardening. Because of the modular architecture of Windows Vista, the system has been created in such a way that the components that make up the system are as isolated from and independent of each other as is possible. BitLocker Drive Encryption
In Windows XP and previous NT-based versions of Windows, Microsoft offered a feature called Encrypting File System (EFS) that enabled users to encrypt important folders or files. Internet Explorer 7 Security Features
The version of Internet Explorer included with Windows Vista includes a number of advanced security technologies that make this the safest version of IE yet. In this section, we'll examine the many security features Microsoft added to Internet Explorer 7. User Account Security Features
Windows Vista includes two major technologies that help protect different types of user accounts against outside threats. Windows Update
In previous Windows versions, Microsoft offered a Web-based service called Windows Update that provided software updates to Windows users. That service has since been superseded by Microsoft Update, which also provides updates to many other Microsoft software products. But Windows Update lives on in Windows Vista, albeit in a brand-new form.
