You mean a ribbon?
The ribbon isn't specific to Vista; XP versions of MS Office 2007 have it as well.
On the one hand it might be nice to have a ribbon (or something similar) giving a set of commonly used commands and settings.
On the other hand, this is a text/code editor, and most people would rather have more text area and less toolbar area for the editor window.
Also, adding a feature like this seems a rather large request, so don't be surprised if you don't see it any time soon.
On another hand, it would be interesting to experiment with new paradigms for user interaction as applied to text/code editing to determine better interfaces for applications like Notepad++.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hello

Please create a bar of menus like the windowsVista. and replace the old system of windows95

What would be awesome is to have that as a theme or something, because I agree with im2crazy4u: Ribbons are annoying
Gah! No ribbon please. It is the biggest single reason why I won't use Office 2007.
Windows7 has in almost all applications with ribbon menus
