- High performance platform for the next generation of applications
Windows Vista is the most advanced operating system that Microsoft has shipped. It is a rich platform that enables the next generation of high-performance computing. And with the 64-bit Editions of Windows Vista, 64-bit native applications can deliver more data per clock cycle, making them run faster and more efficiently.
- Large memory support
The 64-bit Editions of Windows Vista supports up to 128 gigabytes (GB) of RAM and 16 terabytes of virtual memory, enabling applications to run faster when working with large data sets. Applications can preload substantially more data into virtual memory, allowing rapid access by an AMD64 processor.
- Flexibility
Windows Vista provides a rich platform to integrate 64-bit applications and existing 32-bit applications using the Windows on Windows 64 (WOW64) x86 emulation layer, providing customers with the ability to move to 64-bit computing without having to sacrifice their existing investment in 32-bit software and Windows expertise.
- Multiprocessing and multicore
Windows Vista is designed to support multicore processing for maximum performance and scalability.
- Same programming model
Developers with 32-bit skills will be comfortable and quickly productive in the 64-bit Windows environment, finding it virtually identical to the development environment for 32-bit Windows.
