In Vista, the Start button is no longer called Start, and the Start menu looks completely
different from the menu you may be used to in Windows XP. However, it’s still there at the
bottom of the screen, and you may find it a bit better organized.
The old Start button has been replaced by a lighted sphere that displays the Windows flag
logo. Instead of submenus that fly out to the right of the main menu, Vista displays your
most recently used programs in a primary window
If you click All Programs, the Start menu switches to a display of collapsing folders. You
can expand each folder to show you all available programs, but the Start menu keeps the
list within the primary window.
