It is likely that such a configuration will be entry-level or lower by Vista's release in 2006. 在Vista发布的2006年,这些配置很可能就是入门级或者更低端了。
Aero Diamond
A graphics mode customized for the Vista Media Center Edition, and will not be made available in the other editions. Not much information is currently available, but it appears that it will be the most advanced level of graphics in Vista, requiring hardware at the same level or greater than the Aero Glass visual style. 这是一个为 Vista Media Center 版本定制的图形模式,它不会在其他版本的 Vista 上提供。目前没有多少关于它的可用的信息,不过它看起来会成为 Vista 上最高级的图形模式,要求和 Aero Glass 同等甚至更高的硬件配置。
Aero Express
The lesser Aero visual experience offering only the basic visual improvements introduced by Vista, such as composition based DPI scaling. 此模式是一个更低级的模式, 仅仅具有 Vista 在显示方面所作的基本增强, 比如基于组合的DPI比例。
- Intended for mainstream or lower-end graphics cards.
- 需要主流或者较低端的显示卡。
- Uses the Avalon Desktop Composition window manager.
- 使用Avalon桌面组件窗口管理器。
- A Vista Driver Display Model (LDDM) driver is a requirement.

Basic
The new Vista look & feel without any visual special effects, similar to the visual style Luna of Windows XP in that it resembles merely an application
skin. As with Luna, no additional hardware requirements compared to the classic Windows interface. 不带任何视觉特效的 Vista 的新观感就象 Windows XP 上的 Luna 风格一样, 不过就类似一个应用程序的
skin。就跟 Luna 一样,使用传统风格的界面时 Vista 没有任何额外的硬件要求。
- A simple option for consumer upgrades, and mobile / low-cost devices.

- 是在Aero不能取得足够的硬件支持的时候的滚回模式。
Classic
The most basic user interface offered by Vista, which is also seen in
Windows 2000, or
Windows XP with its visual style Luna deactivated. Vista 提供的最基本的用户界面。它有着和
Windows 2000 或者不激活 Luna 主题的
