On the same day that it wrapped up work on Windows Vista, Microsoft published the "Windows Vista Security Guide."

The online guide is meant for organizations planning to use Vista in a domain with Microsoft's Active Directory service. It provides instructions and recommendations that are designed to help strengthen the security of desktop and laptop computers running Vista in such a setup, Microsoft said.

"Not only does the guide provide you with effective security setting guidance, it also provides a reproducible method that you can use to apply the guidance to both test and production environments," according to Microsoft.

The Windows Vista Security Guide, published on Wednesday, is available online.
