GUI Interface design

Hey folks...

Does anyone know if there is a Microsoft doc out there that give guidelines
on developing a GUI interface? i.e. The look and feel of it, and how it's
supposed to flow?

Thanks,

There are overall guidelines for windows, some additional guidelines
specifically for windows xp, and there are guidelines specific to the "vista
experience".
