Michael Wallent, General Manager for Windows Client, was recently interviewed by eWeek on the measures undertaken during the design and development of Windows Vista to ensure that users have a secure, reliable and performant experience. These quality-defining criteria were literally built into the product at every step.
We sat down with Michael to learn more about what's changed for the better from a quality perspective. In the video below, Michael speaks in particular to changes made in building in hardware driver support and adds that updates will continue to be made available via download via Windows Update. This advance in driver distribution avoids the "step-function" improvement that users had experienced in the past; now, via network-available updates, the experience of using Windows Vista continually improves over time.
