What’s New in Windows Vista?


So, what’s new in Windows Vista? A better question might be, “What’s not new in this startling new operating system?” From the first glance, you can see that Windows Vista is obviously quite different from Windows XP. The interface is similar, but prettier. Windows Explorer is familiar, but so much more functional. Things are in different places. The browser is brand new. Everything is better organized. What’s up with the icons giving you a glimpse into the files they represent? Even the old, standard games that haven’t changed a bit since Windows 3.1 look improved.

There’s more. Behind the scenes, Windows Vista is a vastly improved operating system. It’s more secure. It’s less prone to critical failures and file corruption. It does things better, faster, more efficiently. Sometimes, it’s as if your computer can read your mind.

The Windows Vista user interface represents a sweeping change from anything you may have ever seen before. This change is the most significant one in the Windows user experience since Microsoft went from Windows 3.x to Windows 95. The graphic user interface (GUI) is built upon the principles of the Windows GUI from Windows 95 to XP, but it’s significantly different: The Start Menu has been overhauled; windows have nifty, transparent borders; and everything looks

fresh and new. The look falls under Windows Aero, the new desktop interface, but the enhancements don’t stop with visuals—the shell and search features are massively enhanced, and the new Sidebar is a handy addition.
