What new experiences does Windows Vista offer for users?
For end-users, the most readily visible feature of Windows Vista will be its new accelerated graphical user interface (GUI). End-users will experience a rich mixture of 2D/3D vector graphics, glitch-free audio, video, and animation seamlessly intermixed to create applications and scenarios previously only seen in movies or Microsoft Research projects. In addition to the GUI enhancements, the new Windows File System (WinFS — available as an update to Windows Vista following it’s retail availability) will enable fast, powerful searching and synchronization across multiple partitions, drives, or devices, and multiple file formats. Integrated spellchecking, enhanced speech synthesis and recognition, and other Natural User Interface (NUI) methods will ease interaction between computer and user. The new sidebar will allow the end-users to always keep their most important data at a glance.
