Vista

So yes, Microsoft has successfully brainwashed me, and I think Windows Vista is cool.

Grossly overpriced and too many options (4 versions) but the OS is nice and simple, easy to use, intuitive, fast and sexy. Kinda like mac os X leopard.

These shots just show off the pretty stuff available in windows vista home premium, business and ultimate. Some of it is available in windows basic - but the flip-3D^tm and transparency/glass is a part of windows Aero^Tm, which doesn't come in basic.

If you intend to purchase it from a shop, ask me which shops :)
