1つあったのがシステムフォントが変わりますね。
System Font (Segoe UI)
This is preliminary documentation and is subject to change.
Segoe UI (pronounced, “SEE-go”) is the new MicrosoftR Windows Vista? system font. It is designed specifically for user interfaces and is optimized for ClearType font technology.
With the introduction of Segoe UI, Windows improves the consistency in how users see all text across all languages. The design of the Segoe UI letterforms is also tightly aligned with the Aero principles and design goals.
