Photos: Inside Windows Vista beta 2

Start meets search
New users will appreciate the streamlined Start menu. The right column has been simplified to show tasks, such as Documents, Pictures, Music and Games. While you can still view All Programs, Microsoft has included the tree structure within the Start menu. But if you want to find what you're looking for fast, try the new integrated search. Type 'word', and instantly find and execute your copy of Microsoft Office Word or, if you prefer, Wordpad.
