Windows Vista™ is here!
After much anticipation, Windows Vista™, the new operating system from Microsoft is now available. And, with all the new features and enhancements packed into this OS, this release is sure to shape and change the way we experience digital media. Learn how Pinnacle Systems works in harmony with Windows Vista to make this new experience even better!

Why Windows Vista?
Windows Vista enables a new generation of applications and solutions that offer a richer, more immersive user experience. Visually, this dynamic interaction is most evident with the new Aero user interface, which features Windows, dialogue boxes and Gadgets that are at your fingertips when you need them, and then gracefully slip out of view. When multi-tasking, you can even quickly flip through Windows to find what you need rather than endlessly minimizing and restoring them.

Digital media and entertainment are a major focus of Windows Vista. The new OS streamlines how you locate, manage and enjoy all of your digital media. Microsoft has taken a holistic approach, making digital media and entertainment an integral, almost organic part of your PC. This in turn helps you enjoy your content when and how you want - a principle that is at the core of Pinnacle's products.

Additional benefits of Windows Vista include greater system security features, better file management, and a new communications and connectivity infrastructure. The end result is a user experience that is easier, safer, more entertaining and better connected.

The Windows Vista OS comes in several versions. To understand which version of Vista is right for you, as well as how you can upgrade, please visit www.microsoft.com/vista.

Will your Pinnacle products work with Windows Vista?
Certified for Windows Vista Pinnacle Systems is committed to providing Windows Vista support for its future products and to completing compatibility requirements for major existing products within the first half of 2007. We are actively engaged in the Microsoft Windows Vista Certification Program, and have already started to release patches for our software products and updated drivers for our hardware products. These patches will ensure compatibility with the new operating system. Updates will be available at no additional charge from the Pinnacle website and incorporated into products as they become available.

What does this really mean for you?

When the most widely used operating system is essentially overhauled, it has a significant effect on the entire computer industry. Consumers may need to upgrade their PCs and much of the software they use. Pinnacle wants to make this transition as seamless as possible for our customers so you won�t have to question whether or not our products will work with either the new Windows Vista OS or their previous operating system.

Whether upgrading to Windows Vista or purchasing a new Windows Vista enabled PC, you can feel confident that Pinnacle software and hardware are great companion products, providing the best digital media solutions for quality, performance, value and ease of use.
