Microsoft's upcoming Windows Vista operating system will deliver a series of enhancements that developers can tap to build more reliable systems, the company said.

At the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles this week, the software giant will highlight some of the benefits for developers, the company said.

For instance, the WinFX SDK contains documentation, samples and tools designed to help developers create managed applications and libraries using WinFX, which is the set of next-generation managed APIs provided by Microsoft, said John Montgomery, director of product management in Microsoft's Developer Division.
