New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools.

Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
