Visual Tour: Vistas new UI
Tuesday, October 24th, 2006
The first thing you might notice upon loading Windows Vista for the first time is the new Welcome 
screen, which replaces the XP Welcome screen. (If you’re running Vista with just a single user account and no password, you won’t see the Welcome screen; it appears only if you have multiple user accounts or after you have assigned a password to at least one account.) Click the user you want to log on as; then type your password and press Enter.
The Vista Desktop
After Vista loads, the main thing you’ll notice is that the overall look of the desktop has changed. As you can see in Figure 3.2, the most obvious change is the new wallpaper (although the one you see might be different; when you install Windows Vista, it gives you a choice of several wallpapers) and the new Windows Sidebar on the right.
If you’re into the wallpaper thing (I rarely see my desktop these days), you’ll be happy to know that Vista ships with some stunning new images, as shown in Figures 3.3 and 3.4. Visual Tour: Vista’s new UI
