Windows Vista: The “choose your own adventure” UI | |

Some of you may, and some of you may not, (so that’s everybody) know Windows Vista has 4 tiers of user interface experience, from the best to worst: Aero Glass, Vista Standard, Vista Basic and Windows Classic. So why so many? Who knows, graphics designers unemployment at an all time low in Redmond? But regardless of whether you like it or not, these are the choices that will be shipping with Vista so let’s understand it while we can. I have taken the liberty (because no one else is as bored as I am) of taking 28 screenshots to compare the 4 different interfaces. These were taken on the same applications and layouts to give you a feel of the exact changes it makes to an user experience. | ||

| Thanks for posting this. It is an excellent resource for showing customers, coworkers, and the curious what the basic differences in Vista levels look like. Too bad there aren't screen shots of tiled windows to complete the presentation. |

Corporations will most likely go with Windows Classic to prevent high training/call center costs.
