VISTA User interface

Just look at this.This Flip-3D really justifies all the efforts MS took while designing vista and the trouble we had while installing it.
The AERO interface looks just amazing when you get to see the contents of underlying window through the edges of upper windows.
Though customizing the display is bit complicated vista provides more options than XP.

If you right click on your desktop and chose "personalize" then you will be presented with a completely different window with following options like "colour and appearance , desktop background, sounds etc." Using each of these you can have the look and feel of your choice which was not that much possible in XP.

live taskbar thumbnails make it real easy to examine contents of a folder without maximizing it (.025 seconds saved) and it looks really hot.(see im on about looks only coz thats what i have found till now)

Now lets take a look at the start menu. This is again completely different from XP (I can here you saying "This is VISTA dude not XP" yeah i know but XP...) and good thing is it can be customized to make it look like XP. You will atleast need good old RUN box back.

The "All programs" tab also works differently.Unlike in XP here it opens right above the tab.
The games are also better than XP. Chess is fabulous and i have been beaten twice this morning(in case you are wondering i was playing at expert level.)

The integrated search functionality is where vista really scores above XP . The search box located at the left bottom corner of start menu makes it easier to search for documents and application alike.You can perform search on your own PC or search the internet with provided options.

This much is sufficient for today. Now that fun is over next articles will deal with tweaks to use vista efficiently.
