    System Advancements:

    • Vista features a new graphical user interface called, “AERO” (Authentic, Energetic, Reflective, Open). The interface includes thumbnails, live icons, a sidebar and animations. AERO also included a new system for viewing windows: Windows Flip and Windows Flip 3D. These allowed for an aesthetically pleasing and highly functional means of viewing and controlling multiple windows while in use. Vista included a second basic interface for consumers whose personal computer could not support AERO’s graphics.32

    • System navigation is vastly improved through a number of measures. There is a mobility system that controls how files are organized and centralizes files. When looking for files, instant search is an improved ‘find’ feature that searched the system in a more in-depth manner.

    • Includes support for several advanced multi-media programs including: DirectX 10, Window Media Player 10, speech recognition, and Blu-Ray and HD DVD.33

    • Central to the system are it’s superior security. Security measures include parental controls and web warnings that confirm if users really want to access websites and notify the user if the site is trying to access their computer.34

    • Several system back-up measures are in place in the Vista system. Incrementally scheduled back-ups and recovery extensively protect files and programs and shadow copying automatically back-ups files and folders on a daily basis. Furthermore, program updates, which previously involved a web-based application, have been centralized into the system.35



    System Flaws:

    • As Apple continues to expand market shares, reviews found that several elements of Vista were thinly veiled copies of Mac’s OS. This problem was particularly prominent in the new interface.36

    • Upon it’s release, Vista still included several bugs, prompting John Clyman of PC magazine to speculate that the product was rushed to the market.37

    • Several of the earlier touted innovative features of the system were dropped prior to its release, thus making the system less revolutionary that initially anticipated.
