Windows Vista Features

Simply Great Gaming

Whether it's for relaxation, a brain tease, or the thrill of competition, people love gaming. The ever-growing popularity of games has changed players' expectations and demands. People want more than excitement - they want to immerse themselves in a game experience.

Windows Vista provides an incredible entertainment experience for everyone - from casual players to serious enthusiasts. The new Windows Vista Games Explorer makes it easier to find and play games. Located in the Windows Vista Start menu, this is the place to start all of your gaming activities. If you're a parent, Windows Vista provides you with a powerful set of Parental Controls that helps you to manage your child's access to games. Built on groundbreaking graphics technology, Windows Vista takes full advantage of the latest gaming hardware for more lifelike images and gameplay.
