Photo gallery: A view of Microsoft Vista


The new Aero graphics engine within Windows Vista is dynamic, so file icons not only show you the contents of the file but also scale to the size of the page. And now you can view thumbnails of any open task across the bottom of the screen. These, too, are dynamic. You could, for example, monitor the progress of a sporting event just by passing your mouse over the open application.

    I thought the slideshow of the Microsoft Vista was a good overview of the entire operating system. The pictures made it more clear to visually image the text. However additional information about the different versions would have been helpful.
