Sure, you can use Windows Vista for a small business. Many of the new features of Vista incorporate features that previously weren't fully integrated into any software and had to be added on to older systems. With Vista, it's all ready under the hood and ready to run.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Small business
  • Computer running Vista
  1. Step 1

    Create documents with Office 2007. Office 2007 is business friendly, with the ability to publish the document so that more than one person can work on the same task.

  2. Step 2

    Set up mailings with the easy-to-find Mailings tab. Unlike earlier versions of Office, you can access the mail merge and other business utilities without digging through multiple menus.

  3. Step 3

    Keep on track with Windows Calendar. You can share the calendar over a network so everyone stays on task.

  4. Step 4

    Stay in touch with Windows Mail. This is a complete re-working of Outlook with a streamlined interface and an easy-to-find Contacts section so you can network with ease.

  5. Step 5

    Use Windows Meeting Space to hold virtual meetings. This feature lets the computers in your office be more fully integrated allowing anyone to work on documents on any computer at any time.

  6. Step 6

    Manage the bills. Use Microsoft Money to keep track of accounts received and payable, bills and other necessary aspects of running a small business.

Tips & Warnings
  • The one drawback of using Vista is that older hardware may not have the proper drivers to continue working with Vista. As the program matures, this may become less of a problem.
