Windows Vista never included an OTF (i.e. PostScript-flavored OpenType)
version of Times New Roman. The Microsoft core fonts have always shipped
as TTF (TrueType-flavored OpenType). But the version of Times New Roman
that is included in Windows Vista is clearly better than the one from
Windows XP: it has a much larger character set (also in the Latin,
Cyrillic and Greek set) and the design of some of the forms has been
improved.

Please keep in mind that the use of fonts that ship with Microsoft
Windows are governed by the End User License Agreement of the operating
system they shipped with.

Adam
