Vista
An OS made by Microsoft that has more errors and malfunctions than XP, their previous OS, but can be set to be cooler-looking (although chances are that your graphics card won't be able to run MS Word with the transparency and stuff turned on).
It would be better than Leopard in terms of what it can do, if it could only do those things without crashing as much as it does. Whether or not it's prettier than Leopard is debatable, but it doesn't really matter, because it's a computer program, not a piece of art. It really comes down to this: if you have a LOT patience, get Vista. If you don't want to actually do things with your computer, get Leopard. Of course, the choice is really this: get something pretty, like Vista or Leopard, or get something that works, i.e. XP.

Ted: Hey, I just got Vista today. It's got pretty colors.
Fred: I have OSX. It's like Vista, except it doesn't crash.
Jack: I have XP. I can do things with it, AND it doesn't crash when I do.
Ted: Well... Are your windows transparent?
Jack: No, but I can open them without crashing my computer.
Fred: Is your monitor 42" and pretty? Does it contain your, uh, vidja card, and C-poo?
Jack: No, my monitor fits through doorways, and I can upgrade my computer.

Tom
Not your friend.
Guy #1: Dude, I just made an account on Myspace a couple days ago. It looks really cool, but every time I log on I feel like my soul is being sucked out of me.
Guy #2: No, that's normal with social networking sites. However, I have just been up for four days straight drinking espresso and researching the Tom-Santa-George Bush-Illuminati-Google-Deathly Hallows-Watergate-Iraq-KGB conspiracy, so you better delete your account anyway.
Guy #1: :O
...It's true. Look it up on the conspirators' website, tomandsantaandgeorgeandallusilluminatiguysandlarryandsergeyandthekgb.org.
