So, what does it look like?

Apparently I need to add some images to AdventuresInVista. Or at least, that’s what I’ve been told. So, here is a lovely picture of my Windows Vista desktop…

Doesn’t it look lovely? First of all, we have the new Start button, which doesn’t say Start anymore - its just a big Windows logo.

Then we have the Windows Sidebar on the right. As you can see I’ve loaded it full of useful gadgets (it’s completely customisable), and in a dual-monitor setup you can move it to the second monitor out the way. You can see one “gadget” which just says “Service not available”. This is actually a stock quotes gadget, but I wasn’t connected to the net when I took the screenshot.

Finally, we have the Welcome Center. This pops up everytime you turn your PC on (until you switch it off) and gives you a brief overview of your system setup, plus links to some vaguely useful features.

There’s plenty of other improvements, which I’ll be discussing in future posts - stay tuned!
