HP VUE is a graphical user interface that provides workspaces, windows, menus, controls, and a Front Panel to help you organize and manage your software applications.

A workspace is the screen area where you bring the applications needed for your work, arrange them to suit your preferences, and put them away when you're done. HP VUE initially comes with six workspaces (four in an HP VUE Lite session), each giving you a surface on which to put your applications and tools.
A window contains a software application and frames it with controls so you can move it, make it larger or smaller, or put it in additional workspaces.
The Front Panel is a window that contains a collection of frequently-used controls and services all your workspaces.
Menus and controls help you manage and operate the software application.
