The Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE) has been updated to host the entire setup process in a graphical environment (as opposed to text-based environments of previous versions of Windows), which allows the use of input devices other than the keyboard throughout the entire setup process. The new interface resembles Windows Vista itself, with features such as <a href="/wiki/ClearType" title="ClearType">ClearType</a> fonts and <a href="/wiki/Windows_Aero" title="Windows Aero">Windows Aero</a> visual effects. Prior to copying the setup image to disk, users can create, format, and graphically resize disk partitions. The new image-based setup also reduces the duration of the installation procedure when contrasted with Windows XP; Microsoft estimates that Windows Vista can install in as few as 20 minutes despite being more than three times the size of its predecessor.<sup id="cite_ref-InstallationTime_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-InstallationTime-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Windows XP only supported loading storage drivers from <a href="/wiki/Floppy_diskette" class="mw-redirect" title="Floppy diskette">floppy diskettes</a> during initialization of the setup process; Windows Vista supports loading drivers for <a href="/wiki/SATA" title="SATA">SATA</a>, <a href="/wiki/SCSI" title="SCSI">SCSI</a>, and <a href="/wiki/RAID" title="RAID">RAID</a> controllers from any external source in addition to floppy diskettes prior to its installation.<sup id="cite_ref-UpgradingAndRepairingPCs_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-UpgradingAndRepairingPCs-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>At the end of the setup process, Windows Vista can also automatically download and apply security and device-driver updates from <a href="/wiki/Windows_Update" title="Windows Update">Windows Update</a>.

Event logs can also be remotely viewed from other computers or multiple event logs can be centrally logged and managed from a single computer. Event logs can be filtered by one or more criteria, and custom views can be created for one or more events.
