your valuable digital photos, music, movies,

Media Center makes organizing and enjoying
photos, music, DVDs, recorded TV, and home
movies easier and more fun. Enjoy the entertainment
on your PC or even on your TV in the living
room with an Xbox 360 wirelessly networked
to your PC. Windows Vista Home Premium makes
it easier to burn your photo slide shows
and home movies to a professional-looking
video DVD that your friends and family can
watch on a DVD player or PC whenever they
like. Combined with unbeatable support for
gaming and music, Windows Vista Home Premium
delivers a complete home entertainment experience.
If
you want a PC that can keep up with you
while you're on the go, then you'll appreciate
how Windows Vista Home Premium helps you
get the most from your mobile PC. It provides
simplified power management, easier wireless
networking, and streamlined ways to sync
with the devices that keep you connected.
Because it's incredibly flexible, you can
even draw and write by hand on a Tablet
PC, and enjoy all of your entertainment
through Windows Media Center when you're
on the road, in a coffee shop, or relaxing
on the couch. Mobile computing has never
been like this before.
Finally,
Windows Vista Home Premium makes it easier
than ever to set up and maintain your new
PC. There are new features that make it
easier to transfer all of your data and
settings from your old PC to your new one
and technology that helps keep your system
running quickly and reliably over time.

you're balancing your checkbook, studying
for school on your mobile PC, watching a
downloaded or recorded movie at home, or
sharing your favorite photos with friends
on a custom DVD, the experience is much
better on a PC running Windows Vista Home
Premium.
