Vista versions and features supported


  • If you want several languages to be available, you choose Vista Ultimate. You can not install all the other required languages as Vista Business does not support the 36 languages available in Windows Vista Ultimate.




  • If you want to support the legacy UNIX applications, the Vista enterprise edition is the choice.




  • Installation recommendation:


Microsoft recommends that you turn off anti-virus software during the install to ensure
that it does not interfere in the installation process. You should also use Dynamic Update
to allow the install to get any critical updates or drivers.




  • Your network has the various laptops and desktops. You want to install either Windows Vista Business or Windows Vista Ultimate. How many wim image should you create?


You will need one .wim file. Each .wim file can have several versions of Windows Vista, and can be used on different computers regardless of their hardware configuration.




  • To support the Windows Aero user experience, you must have a video adapter card that is Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM)-compatible.
