Chapter 38 on Windows Vista Mobility
Chapter 38: Hitting the Road of the book titled Special Edition Using Microsoft® Windows® Vista was published by InformationWeek with permission to the author. This chapter covers the mobility aspect of Windows Vista that allows you to utilitize features while on the road.
In an excerpt of the chapter:
Some people predict that some day, a global Internet will cover every inch of the Earth’s surface, giving us an always-on, always-available stream of data they call the “Evernet.” We’re not quite there yet, but today the Internet is available in pretty much any city you might visit, and it has become easy to stay in touch with home while you’re traveling.
Windows Vista supports you when you’re away from home or the office with some pretty spiffy portability and networking features, including these features that are covered in other chapters:
Wireless networking support lets Vista stay connected when you’re on the go. This was covered in Chapter 37, “Wireless Networking.”
Vista makes it easier to use a portable or laptop computer to make business or school presentations. Presentations are covered in Chapter 39, “Meetings, Conferencing, and Collaboration.”
Vista has a nifty Remote Desktop feature that lets you use your own computer from somewhere else, over the Internet. This is covered in Chapter 40, “Remote Desktop.”
This chapter covers several other Vista features, which are mostly related to mobile (portable, laptop, notebook, or tablet) computers:
For laptops, the Windows Mobility Center puts a bunch of important settings in one window so you can manage your computer’s display, power consumption, and networking features.
Dial-up and VPN networking let you access a remote network when you’re traveling, and you can even set up remote access to your own home or office network.
Offline Folders let you automatically keep up-to-date personal copies of files that are stored on network folders, so you really can “take it with you.”
