Better Looking

It's high-time the future started acting its age. Graphic and video technology has evolved to the point where a user interface can be as pleasant to view as it is intuitive to use. Windows Vista® makes booting up your notebook a treat for your eyes – every time.

The Windows Aero Experience

Windows Aero™ offers Microsoft's best-designed, highest-performing desktop to date.

Aero Glass features dynamic reflections and smooth animations. Glass windows create an open, lightweight environment – and more importantly, help you to better focus on your content, rather than on the surrounding interface.
Windows Flip is an update of the feature known as ALT+TAB in previous versions of Windows. See live thumbnails of your open windows instead of generic icons, making it easier to identify the window you're looking for.

Windows Flip 3D creates a view of your open windows in a three-dimensional stack on your desktop. Using the Windows logo+TAB keys, you can flip through the open windows to quickly locate and select the window you want.

Live taskbar thumbnails keep you up-to-date. When you pause your mouse over a window tile on the taskbar, you see the thumbnail of the "live" contents of that window without having to bring it to the forefront of your screen.
