Vista for Students & Work-At-Home Use

The OIT began providing support to students using the Vista operating system in May 2007, and it is available for purchase through the OIT Computer Store.

Most new Windows computers that students purchase will come with Windows Vista pre-installed. There are several editions of Vista, and we recommend you specify Windows Vista Ultimate Edition when you order, to provide you full features and functionality. You can find details on the different versions of Windows Vista at:  http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/editions/choose.mspx

There are a few known issues with Windows Vista that you should be aware of, particularly if you will be using specialized applications or peripheral devices. If you have additional questions or concerns, please contact the OIT Help Desk at 574-631-8111 (oithelp@nd.edu).
