Things You Need to Consider before the Vista Updating
Fisrtly, the hardware requirements are being met
As everyone knows, Vista on the hardware requirements is very high. In fact, the Vista has two different sets of hardware requirements; one is only able to run the basic Vista (Vista Capable) version of the machine, the other one is to run the advanced Vista (Vista Premium Ready) version of the machine. The latter requires the 1GHz processor, 1GB of memory and high-end video card, and the requirement of the former is relatively easy to implement, low cost. It is important to remember this: Although Aero Glass provides visual effects very dazzling, but for most commercial applications may not be essential to.
Secondly, you need to which version of the Vista
Version of Vista is more complex. Now it has five versions: family ordinary version (Home Basic), Home Premium Edition (Home Premium), a commercial version (Business), Enterprise Edition (Enterprise) and ultimate (Ultimate). Users may not want to use the family version of the company's network, but in the end choose Business Edition, enterprise edition or ultimate, still not quite clear. The commercial version basically equivalent to XP Pro; enterprise edition includes additional functions, such as BitLocker drive encryption (provides an additional layer of security for the notebook computer company), application compatibility tool, based on the subsystem of the application of UNIX (SUA) and advanced multi language support. Ultimate includes all versions (including the Media Center Edition) all the functions, and office computers may not be able to use all of its function.
Thirdly, understand the Vista license
Microsoft add enterprise edition Vista, this version only sell to Microsoft signed a software security protocol or the Microsoft Enterprise users. For smaller companies, Windows anytime upgrade license may be worthy of their attention, the license allows them to upgrade from some version of the Vista to a higher version.
Fourthly, application compatibility
Speaking of compatibility is the most important application. Upgrade to a new operating system to consider this important factor: to ensure that the necessary application can run in the operating system.
The compatibility mode of the built-in Vista can help the user to install and run applications written for the old version of Windows. Microsoft developed application compatibility toolkit, can help users identify applications may need to be improved in order to use the Vista user account control (UAC) function, and repair these procedures. Users can also use the virtual PC/ virtual server or terminal services technology, as an alternative application is not compatible.
However, prior to the mission - critical applications for testing is important, to ensure that they can work normally in the environment of Vista.

If you are using the digital publication software, the updating would only be better and better, so you do not need to worry about such problems. And it is pdf to digital magazine software with ability to convert OpenOffice, PPT and Image.
Fifthly, the evaluation of network infrastructure
Although do not require the user to do so, but the upgrade to Vista may cause the network to upgrade to IPv6. Vista provides better support for the new Internet protocol. In XP/Server 2003, need to install independent protocol to support IPv6; and Vista/Longhorn Server of the TCP/IP protocol stack to support dual IP architecture, and IPv4 and IPv6 in the default state is enabled.
The migration to IPv6 not only improves the security of IP, can also be a network address translation (NAT) protocol, and simplifies the audio and video integrated into the application.
