Windows vista is a major milestone and greatest ever discovery in the field of Operating system.Its the most precoius contribution of Microsof to the family of O.S.Windows Vista is the name of the latest release of Microsoft Windows, a line of proprietary graphical operating systems used on personal computers, including home and business desktops, notebook computers, and media centers.

Graphics
Vista uses aero graphics(Glass like interface) in user intetfaces.Vista is the only Os which uses aero graphics for user Interfaces.It also uses transparent graphics.3D tabbing is used so that the windows which are simultaneously opened will overlap in 3D Manner.Thus the users can access or view them without minimizing or restoring the already opened one.

Start Menu
Vista uses search function(Instant Search) within the start menu.So that the user is free to forgot even the folder in which an application is stored.The search function can be used to search by specifying atleast a single alphabet.Also all the most useful programs can be set to appear in the start menu without going to the all programs.
