Windows Vista Aero is the premium user experience in Windows Vista and the one most
users will want to access. It provides a number of unique features.
First, Vista Aero enables the new Aero Glass look and feel in which the Start Menu,
taskbar, and all onscreen windows and dialog boxes take on a new glass-like translucent
sheen. In Figure 4-5, you can see how overlapping objects translucently reveal what’s
underneath.
