This utility/companion is called Windows 7 in a box. This is very very useful for a person finding it difficult to adapt to the new menu style and navigation in Windows 7.

Windows 7 vs. Windows Vista
Windows 7 is the latest brainchild of Computer billionaire Bill Gates. It was made for a specific reason, which is to replace the enormous faults of Windows vista such as speed, usage of ram, space taken and the cost.
First let’s tackle speed. At any test, windows 7 has bested windows vista based on speed. Vista has had problems including reducing the performance of the computer since its beginning. For example windows vista mainly requires at least a 1 GB ram to function properly, while Windows 7 has only a 756 Mb ram necessity. I have tested windows 7 beta version in a laptop which has a 756 Mb ram and it still works perfectly, while in the same computer vista was lagging quite a bit.
The Space required for vista and the space required for windows 7 is almost the same. This region has a slight improvement but not greatly.
