Windows Vista introduced a new eventing model that unifies both ETW and the Windows Event Log API.

Prior to Windows Vista, you would use either Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) or Event Logging to log events. The event-logging service stores events from various sources in a single collection called an event log.

Windows Events provides a standard, centralized way for applications (and the operating system) to record important software and hardware events.
