Vista is an acronym - Viruses, Infections, Spyware, Trojans and Adware
To run Vista, you'll need a 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) PC with at least an 800MHz processor, 512MB of RAM, and a Microsoft DirectX 9.0-capable video card. Microsoft says such PCs are now classified as "Vista Capable." To provide optimum performance and to qualify for the "Vista Premium Ready" label (so that you can utilize certain high-end Vista editions such as Vista Ultimate or Vista Home Premium), your PC must have at least a 1GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, a Windows Aero-compliant video card with 128MB of RAM, a 40GB hard disk with 15GB of free space, a DVD-ROM drive, and sound and Internet capabilities. Windows Aero-compliant video cards include DirectX 9.0-class graphics processors, a Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) driver, and are compatible with Pixel Shader 2.0. A graphics card with 64MB of RAM is enough to drive a 1024 x 768 display, despite the 128MB requirement for the "Vista Premium Ready" label.
Microsoft Vista May Come In Seven Versions
Microsoft's next desktop operating system may come in a record-breaking seven flavors.
Vista's versions will be divided into two broad categories -- Home and Business -- which essentially correspond to the "Home" and "Pro" divisions within Windows XP.
The Home side will include Vista Starter Edition, Vista Home Basic Edition, and Vista Home Premium Edition. The Business branch, meanwhile, will contain Vista Professional Edition, Vista Small Business Edition, Vista Enterprise Edition, and Vista Ultimate Edition.
Enterprise Edition will be a superset of Professional, with additional features, such as Virtual PC and the Secure Startup/full volume encryption security technologies (dubbed "Cornerstone" by Microsoft).
Other current SKUs in Windows XP -- including Media Center and Tablet PC -- will be rolled into one or more of the upcoming Vista editions, Vista Home Premium, for example, will feature the functionality of XP's Media Center, while Vista Professional is set to include Tablet PC features.

About EcologyFund
EcologyFund is owned and operated by The Hunger Site Network as a way to get new funds for critical habitat and wilderness preservation using the power of the internet. When you "click to give" our sponsors pay the project you selected to preserve the number of square feet shown by each project. You pay nothing. To maximize the contribution, click on each project every day. If you register, The Hunger Site Network will donate 500 square feet of wilderness in your name, and will keep a running tally for you of all the land you have preserved. Other sites owned and operated by The Hunger Site Network are The Hunger Site, The Breast Cancer Site, The Rainforest Site, The Animal Rescue Site, and GreaterGood.com.
All monies from sponsorships generated on EcologyFund go to purchase and protect wild lands. Sponsors are interested in supporting wilderness preservation for the same reasons we are: 1) its good for the environment, 2) our advertising budgets can do double duty and accomplish something important, and 3) the best form of public relations is good work. If you click and visit a sponsor's site it will usually double their contribution. Clicks to site advertisers in our Special Donations section will save additional land or plant trees. Certain actions (ordering free catalogs or registering for free) will save even more land or plant additional trees through our Rainforest Rewards section. Shopping through Shop For Acres will save an average of 50 square feet per dollar spent. The average amount of land protected through each action of the site is always specified. A breakdown of the amount contributed is listed in our totals section.
Founders
Tim Kunin is a life long lover of wilderness, who has canoed and hiked for thousands of miles in the United States, Canada, and Patagonia. He started working for environmental causes at the University of Michigan, where he met his business partners Dave DeVarti (SGI Publications) and Greg Hesterberg (SGI and CharityMall.com) while working on the Michigan Bottle Bill ballot campaign of 1976. As part of that effort, Tim walked 200 miles across the state, to publicize the need for recycling. Tim developed EcologyFund as a new way for Internet users to contribute to wilderness preservation.
"Preserving the wild parts of the planet is an important legacy we can leave our children. EcologyFund allows each person to save a little wilderness everyday. These donations add up, so that each person can save more than an acre a year. With thousands of people clicking every day, we will be able to save tens of thousands of acres of critical wilderness habitat every year."
Greg Hesterberg was chairman of two statewide consumer and environmental organizations (MaryPIRG and PIRGIM), while in college. He met his future business partners while coordinating work on the successful Michigan Bottle Bill. After 20 years running a successful local publishing firm, SGI Publications, he developed CharityMall.com as a way to use the Internet to benefit charities.
