[edit] Summary

Original image from http://www.developer.com/img/2006/12/Nick2.gif. Image and article are about shutdown changes in Windows Vista. Copyright Microsoft Corporation.

This image was uploaded in a format such as GIF or JPEG. However, it is more suited to the PNG format, which supports alpha transparency and lossless compression, meaning that changes do not reduce the image quality.
If possible, please upload a PNG version of this image; after doing so, replace all instances of the this version (noted under the "File links" header), tag this version with {{PNG version available|NewImage.png}}, and remove this tag. See also Wikipedia:Preparing images for upload.

This image was uploaded in the PNG, GIF or other lossless image format. However, it contains visible lossy compression artifacts. These artifacts may have come from the JPEG format or from saving a colorful image in the GIF format instead of the PNG format.
If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image, derived from a non-lossy source so that it doesn't contain any compression artifacts (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please replace all instances of the artifacted version throughout Wikipedia (noted under the "File links" header), tag the old version with {{obsolete|Image:NewImage.ext}}, and remove this tag. For more information, see Wikipedia:Preparing images for upload.

it is being used for informational purposes.

[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.
