With Windows Vista, users can perform their daily tasks more securely and easily, and find what they need instantly. It offers new possibilities for digital entertainment and easier ways to communicate with others, both at home and on the go.
Security and ease of use were at the heart of Windows Vista's development. Users can look forward to the redesigned user interface with a new look and feel. Vista also focuses even more on organizing the flood of data on the hard drive. It's easier to find documents and manage and use multimedia data.
New user interface
Windows Vista significantly simplifies working with a PC. A user-friendly interface ensures users have instant access to the data they need, whenever they need it. Integrated, system-wide search functions simplify storing, finding, managing, and organizing important files and programs.
This keeps emails, documents, images, videos, music, games, and websites under control at all times. When searching on a desktop PC, users no longer need to know the name of a file; a word in the document, the artist, or the date of the photograph is enough to find it.
The new Vista Start menu with integrated quick search
"Flip" allows you to conveniently switch from one open window to the next, displaying a live thumbnail for each window. Thumbnails allow you to quickly locate the desired window, especially when multiple windows of the same type are open. "Flip 3D" allows you to use the mouse scroll wheel to view multiple open windows and then select the desired one.
To keep information just a mouse click away, Windows Vista offers gadgets. These connect to web services to display constantly updated information services such as weather reports, news, or Internet radio programs. They can also display all instant messaging contacts and daily tasks, and function as a calculator or notepad. All gadgets are organized and accessed via the Windows Sidebar on the right edge of the screen.

This reduces the need for users to shut down and restart their computers. Furthermore, the operating system automatically adapts its performance to different users by loading the most frequently used applications before they are launched.
