Upgrading to the new Windows Vista operating system on your current or new Vista PC with an existing AT&T High Speed Internet account ...
If you are an existing AT&T High Speed Internet customer interested in upgrading from Microsoft Windows XP to Windows Vista, here is some supportive information to help you better understand what Vista means for you and your current AT&T High Speed Internet experience.
AT&T and Yahoo! have been working closely with Microsoft to update our familiar software applications to support the Vista operating system, including AT&T Messenger, Flickr, the AT&T Portal powered by Yahoo!, and our Web-based e-mail service.
In this spirit, our teams will continue to work to deliver compatibility with other familiar applications which will be temporarily impacted for customers who upgrade to Vista, such as the AT&T Yahoo! Browser and the AT&T Yahoo! Online Protection Suite. While our teams remain dedicated to restoring your ability to manage and customize the online protection suite on a Vista PC, we encourage you to learn more about the embedded Windows Security Center, part of the Vista operating system and similar to the AT&T Yahoo! Online Protection Suite, to help keep your PC up to date with the latest security patches and alerts.
