Microsoft's newest Operating System, the successor to windows XP. Windows Vista takes all the worst features of Windows XP, and makes them worse, moves them around to new, hard to find locations, and adds a ton of new features. Some of these new features are:
*Explorer windows that regularly freeze up
*A proprietary web browser, Internet Explorer 7, that comes packaged with the system and cannot be uninstalled or deleted.
*400+ MB RAM usage right off the bat.
*Built-in DRM to restrict a users ability to do most anything.
*UAC (User Account Control), a wonderful feature that questions the intelligence of its users by asking if they're sure they want to do what they're trying to do, then double-checking that they didn't accidentally press "Yes" when they meant "No."
*Shadow-copy, and other similar hidden processes, that keep hidden backups of your data files to ensure that your privacy is always compromised.
*Little backwards-compatibility.
*New versions of old familiar tools that remove all those pesky progress displays and status indicators, so you have no idea whether the program is actually doing anything or not (because that's none of your business). For example, the new checkdisk and defrag.
*A complete new set of security holes for virusus, adware, trojans, etc to exploit.
*The new "aero" interface, which is incompatible with almost everything non-Microsoft.
Windows Vista is also known as Microsoft's latest attempt to create a product worse than windows ME.

iPhone User: Hey, is that a Windows Phone?
Windows Phone User: Yes, it's the phone of the future, because it sure as hell isn't the phone of today.

When somebody gets sexual pleasure from rubbing him/herself up a window or even making out with a window. This strange fetish is found sexual because the fact you can see yourself whilst doing things to the window. The fetish is helped by the window being warm and the friction with the heat can provide sexual pleasure and can even relate to an orgasm. This fetish is more commonly known for the men but females can try it to.

Probably the trash operating system that came after windows 11, I'm surprised no one has defined this yet. Windows 11 is already ugly as hell
Wow! I downloaded windows 12 and the icons are 10 times more simplified. And there is 1 mile of space between the buttons

The ability to poop in the amount of time it would normally take you to piss, so as not to alert guests or hosts as to what you’re truly doing. Making the Piss Window is most critical when dining out with friends, entertaining guests in your home, or visiting the home of another. Failure to make the Piss Window will usually result in bouts of awkwardness as you exit the bathroom, because everyone will know….you just took a shit.
Joe: Dude, 2 minutes and 14 seconds...you just barely made the Piss Window.
Sam: Tell me about it. It'd be pretty embarrassing if Julie found out I took a shit on our first date.
Joe: Too late, I just told her.
