Featured in Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate versions, Windows Aero introduces a spectacular new visual interface. Transparent windows, smooth animation and crisp graphics are easy on the eyes and easy to navigate and search.
With Windows Vista Instant Search, you are never more than a few keystrokes away from whatever you’re looking for. Instant Search enables you to type a file name, property or even text contained within a file, and it returns pinpoint results. It’s fast and easy.
Windows Vista includes new Parental Control features that help you monitor, screen and manage your children’s computer use - keeping them safe, while giving you peace of mind.
Your entertainment options are growing - and so is your library of music, photos, movies and video clips. Windows Media Center helps you organize all your digital entertainment in one place and quickly find what you’re looking for using thumbnail pictures.
Roll your mouse over an item on the task bar and you get an instant preview - whether it’s a photo, a document or even a video. No more clicking and closing items to find out what you have open.
