Microsoft Windows guidelines have changed to sentence style capitalization for everything except window titles. See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa974176.aspx#guidelines <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa974176.aspx%23guidelines> Scroll down to "Capitalization". Windows Vista does not follow this new UI guideline. Office 2007 does. The guideline includes an exception "For legacy applications you may use title-style capitalization for command buttons, menus, and column headings if necessary to avoid mixing capitalization styles." So I guess Windows Vista is considered a legacy application.
