“The Pynchon Window,” Clara muttered. Looking past the plate glass and into the once-bustling streets, now vacant the faces, footfalls, and soft sweat of the day.
“What was that dear?” Replied her husband, sorting his cards.
‘What was always so important about those cards?’ She wondered briefly, turning back out to the last passage of dusk.
“Just something a friend told me. ‘Once you go out looking for one thing, and you’re late to realize it already passed you by.’ And the whole point of it is... there you were, just being there the whole time. With that window.”
“Peabody’s?”
“Pynchon’s. I liked the name, like some old world steakhouse of nondescript national origin”

The best operating system, a perfect combination of Windows xp and Windows 7, all in a delightfully aesthetic and beautiful theme known as aero glass. Windows Vista has extreme multimedia features, although you may want to install a secondary media player in case certain encoding types don't work. Windows Vista's hardware selection with supported drivers may be low, but if you can acquire a stable setup to use it on, it's a blast and perfectly snappy.
"I just installed Windows Vista on my computer, no wonder it's shit."
"have you tried installing it on an actually capable machine?"
"no-"
"try doing that first before you say it's shit then, bitch."
"damn aight, aight."

Another word for boob or cleavage window, a cutout at the center of a top that reveals the cleavage. Comes from the idea of sticking your hand through the opening and wiggling the boobs.
