This is how Vista's desktop looks, multiple windows can be shown in '3D' fashion, the sidebar has 'gadgets' like multiple clocks, local weather, etc. This is the Enterprise edition as my company has a Microsoft VLA, I downloaded it about 2 weeks ago. The consumer editions will be released later this month although all DVD's are the same, it is the licence key that unlocks the right version. I warn you, some things don't work anymore

Looks cool - hope it's more stable than XP is!

I'm reading mixed reviews about Vista. It might be good for enterprise editions (although from what I've read you need a Ph.D. in software engineering to install and use all the features), but for the home, XP is still the way to go. For one thing, the review I read says you need 1-2G of memory to run it properly. I've got 1G but I use some of it now.

I'm not ready to be a bleeding edger. I'll wait till I have to get it, probably when I get my next machine. That way the hardware will be fitted for it.

I've never had a stability issue with XP and I have it installed on 4 personal machines and my office machine. I've never had a crash that I would attribute to XP.

XP's been very stable for me. However, it is the applications that installs all that crap into the registry and does not uninstall properly which makes windows unstable.
