The complete Windows Vista beta release
Microsoft said the 4th technology preview (CTP) was fully equipped with all the necessary features and the company would not integrate any additional features into the new generation operating system.
February CTP is designed primarily to serve businesses that want to minimize operating costs and maintain hundreds of thousands of computers in the company.
Like Widget sets in Mac OS X and Yahoo, Windows Vista also integrates Gadgets - programs built with specific purposes such as displaying weather, time, slide photos (slide shows) or RSS feeds from websites. that users love. However, unlike Widget, Vista's new program can move freely on the desktop or in the Sidebar.
Microsoft has introduced Gadget for a long time but has never installed it in previous tests. Users can enrich the Gadget repository with a variety of programs that appear on Live.com.

The software group said that businesses should install CTP 4 as a stepping stone before Vista was officially released at the end of the year. According to Microsoft, the process of manually deploying a desktop operating system in the company averages about $ 1,000 per PC. Meanwhile, CTP 4 contains many innovative tools, supporting businesses to plan for testing, building, setting up and managing Vista at just under $ 100.
In addition, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) can customize Vista's Welcome Center interface through Start Menu / Control Panel and All Programs.
Although it has perfected the feature, Microsoft said it will "sharpen" the operating system when providing the test versions. Windows Vista CTP 4 is distributed under the Windows Vista Technical Beta Program or for those who sign up for Microsoft Developer Network and TechNet.
