[edit] Fair use rationale

This software is copyrighted, but its screenshot is being used here under U.S. fair use laws, because:

it helps to visually identify a specific visual component of the software; without visual identification, the effect is impossible to be communicated. In that sense it furthers the goal of providing verifiable information.
it does not, nor does it claim to, limit the rights of the copyright holder.
it does not, in any way, assist in illegal reproduction of the software or any other things covered by the license of the software.
it is being used for informational purposes.
it is copyrighted, so free equivalent cannot exist.

The rationale applies to the usage in Window (computing), Windows Vista, Windows Aero, Features new to Windows Vista, and Desktop Window Manager.

[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.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright 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.
