Some Windows Vista Mobility Features
Lora Heiny has started up a list of Vista Mobility features and here are some of them :
* Handwriting recognition
* Handwriting personalization training
* Windows SideShow
* Meeting Space
* Common location for battery settings
Some Windows Vista Mobility Features that I also found out are :
*ReadyBoost – Let’s face it mobile PCs tend to pack a bit less grunt than their deskbound brothers. Not only does ReadyBoost improve the performance by servicing most of the random reads off the flash card – anything that reduces the number of disk accesses can only do good things for battery life.
*BitLocker – I’ve never done it but it seems an alarming number of laptops are left in taxis. Whole volume encryption provided by BitLocker will protect your locally stored data when it is in transit. Which is great because…
*Offline files! They finally work in Vista. Some of the improvements include:
* All file types are synchronised (unlike XP which would skip certain file types)
* It is lots less intrusive
* Reads are serviced from the local copy when connected – unlike XP which would read and write the remote copy when connected with a huge performance hit.
* Encrypted by default – so even if you are not using BitLocker there is some protection.
* Only changes are in a file are synced from the client to the server, greatly reducing the amount of replication traffic. (note – changes server side are copied in full)
*Streamlined Networking, dial-up and VPN configuration.
*Network profiles – different services are available under the Domain-based, work, home and public network profiles.
