Vista sports the new organizational structure that allows much easier browsing and finding of folders using a side-arrow and a drop down on every folder currently in your directory path. I also like Vista's new picture viewing application is excellent, even providing a slideshow view. The new search and all programs views let you type or click on what you want, and the results of both come up in the pane formerly reserved for only pinned items on the left. So instead of far reaching menus you must drill down through filling the screen, you can easily drill down via a faster, better tree-like interface. One thing I found interesting is that you can type run or calc, or notepad, and without further ado, Vista displays it, smartly knowing what I wanted, though these items, like run are not shown on the main start menu. On the integration front, Vista's new start button goes hand in hand with the new 2007 Office system beta's start-button common to most Office programs. There are many such improvements that make it easier for users to get the idea of how to use the system, since things look the same. Even display properties are interestingly arranged, while a little confusing to a seasoned user, will be very simple for a newbie.The skinny on big fat Vista Part 2
