Windows Vista (2006)

In Mid-2005, Microsoft modified their 2001 logo to add a glow in the center of the logo and change the font to Segoe. The "Microsoft" text was removed from the logo and since then, it's been referred to as simply, "Windows". Windows Vista was initially released for business customers on November 30, 2006, and for general availability on January 30, 2007. The system was not commonly seen being used among Windows users because of high requirements and some bugs.

While Windows Vista was also turned down by many, it did come with lots of new features and design tweaks. Some of the system's most notable features are New Aero design, Sidebar and Widgets, Windows Defender, 3D Task switcher, Welcome Center, and Games Explorer. Extended support ended on April 11, 2017 (mainstream support ended on April 10, 2012).
