[edit] Licensing

This is a screenshot of copyrighted computer software, and the copyright for its contents is most likely held by the author(s) or the company that created the software. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots:

for identification of and critical commentary on the software in question
in the absence of a free alternative,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

…qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

If this is a screenshot of free software (GPL, BSD, etc.) do not use this template! Use the license tag that correspond to the license instead, optionally alongside {{Free screenshot}} to categorize as a free screenshot.

[edit] Fair-use rationale

Screenshot that demonstrates the start menu in Windows Vista
Not likely to cause any financial damage to Microsoft
A screenshot is pretty safe territory
Wikipedia is a non-profit organisation, downstream providers who are not non-profit will need to consider whether they will take the risk in using this image
Clearly used for educational use

This rationale applies to the use of this image on the Start menu article, as well as Features new to Windows Vista.
