It introduced volume mixer (which stays kinda beloved and sought out even now) (and also WASAPI), search in start (hit start and type, which is now everywhere), snipping tool (which is made even better in windows 11), etc., there's actually a bunch of features there that either get overlooked or misattributed to windows 7, which is kinda interesting. Check out this article about them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Features_new_to_Windows_Vista https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Features_new_to_Windows_Vista
- bombcar 2y agoI remember the start menu search and related search things (both for windows and Mac OS, remember Sherlock?) being so absolutely dog slow and even worse after upgrade/fresh install. That all went away as SSDs came on the market, but it was a noticeable "downgrade" from teh snappy.
