    Oh, right. Sorry! I kinda forgot...
    Do you think that Windows Vista is just WinXP in a fancy shell? Can you show me some screenshots?

    Exactly. Microsoft copied it! >=O

    Also OS X is still better.
    Vista does not run off of UNIX like OS X does.
    Vista is basically XP in a fancy shell with features copied from Apple.
    Just like XP was 2K in a fancy shell and so on.

    Vista is not a enhanced shell of XP. It's a totally new eprience with new security enhancements and more features copied from OSX...

    Apple like totally copied some windows features too in the new 10.5. ^^;

    :D Oh! That's fancy! I (totally) think that WinVista is just WinXP with fancied-up graphics! So, yeah... What features are from Mac OS X?

    Haha, everything that is new.
    I have no idea what it is called on Windows Vista but Vista took OS X's:
    • Spotlight
    • Expose
    • Dashboard/Widgets (Microsoft calles them "Gadgets" IIRC)
    • Features from Apple Mail for Outlook
    • and so on

    Here's a video of some Vista guy talking about all the features of upcoming Vista (on the Audio track) while an OS X Tiger user is showing all the things that Vista copied:

    Vista, having been so long in the making, is a complete revamp of the Windows system. While WinFS didn't make it in, it has new display and window managers, new window graphics and a whole lot of other things. It works very differently from XP; be warned. For example, you'll find "virtual folders" - think symlinks in Linux.

    Apple is not near as original as its rabid fans believe~

    Anyways, at this point Vista takes way too much of the computer's system resources to be any fun at all.
