Screenshot created by Wikipedia user JamesWeb for use on Wikipedia.

[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

Not intended to cause any financial damage to Microsoft
Screenshot demonstrates a unique feature/layout that could not be demonstrated using an existing screenshot
Screenshot is made for educational use
Wikipedia is a non-profit organization
It shows the product that is described in the article(s).

The above rationale applies to the image's use on Development of Windows Vista.
