The V5 Flybook comes with either Windows® XP™ Home Edition or Win-
dows® Vista™. 

 Windows XP

Windows XP is a major upgrade to the client version of Windows 2000 with 
numerous changes to the user interface. XP provides improved support for 
gaming, digital photography, instant messaging and wireless networking. 

Windows XP also incorporates a personal firewall for added security, and 
improves the sharing of Internet connections to the Internet. 

XP Home Edition is designed for the consumer while XP Professional is aimed 
at the office worker with added security and administrative options. XP Pro can 
log onto a domain-based network in an office whereas XP Home cannot. XP 
Pro can be run from a remote location and supports Intel's Hyper-Threading.

Windows Vista

Windows Vista is the next version of Windows for clients and servers. Vista 
adds numerous features to preceding Windows versions, including improved 
security and advanced multimedia capabilities. Vista includes Trustworthy 
Computing which provides enhanced security features and greater support for 
digital rights management. Following are some of Vista’s main features.

The Vista operating system incorporates the new "Aero" interface. Elements 
have a more sculpted look, which are based on Vista's Windows Presentation 
Foundation (WPF) graphics subsystem. WPF supports 3D vector graphics.

Vista speeds up indexed file searching in Windows XP and enables results to 
be stored in a virtual folder that is updated automatically if files are moved. The 
search also extends to syndication feeds. Developers can use the search 
capability in their own programs to enhance functionality.
