A new operating system released by microsoft as a plan to "phase out" the still superior XP.
The conspiracy, as it is known, revolves around the idea that Microsoft released Vista in its current state INORDER to make people forget about XP when they released their NEXT subpar OS (note how every says how much 7 is better than Vista, but rarely talks of XP)
Treats the average user like a baby, and the advanced user like an idiot. Only to be used by those still learning what the mouse is.

noun. A small pyramidal-shaped section of unwashed windshield glass, which is a result of the windshield wipers not being able to reach it. It is usually located at the bottom center of the glass.
Daughter: Mom, why is that little shark fin on the window?
Mother: Oh honey, that's called a window cleft. It's there because the windshield wipers don't wipe that part.

The cancer of an operating system that we don’t get rid of because it’s Windows. It’s the most popular operating system. It’s the only one with software, It’s the only one that you can game on, It’s the only one that you can get viruses from and It’s the only one that will let your mum discover your location. We just let it get bigger and bigger and worse and worse. We don’t escape. We can’t escape. Microsoft and their spyware is attached to us. It’s everywhere. Everywhere you look. Everything you have. Look at the Windows. They need an update or they’ll break. But if you install it they’ll explode. Look at your dog. It’s Windows 10. Breath in the air, It’s Windows 10. How do we stop? When do we stop? Everything... it’s all... Windows, 10...
F*cking Windows 10. What’s with this Microsoft account sh*t? Why do I need to enter public info “in case I forget my password”? Which is less secure than my 69 character long one?!

When Microsoft tried to create an operating system as good as Apple's Mac OSX.
Microsoft's interface is pretty much a rip off that doesnt work.
Apple's "widgets" are not the same in Windows, Microsoft did not steal the idea in Vista... They are called "gadgets". Clearly not the same.
Apple's "Expose" and "apple-tab" are not the same as Window's "flip" and "flip 3d" they clearly have different names and look slightly differnt.
Window's new "instant search" is not the same because it is not called "spotlight", like apple. It is important to note that they are on completly different sides of the screen, apple in the top right and windows in the top left. This means they are different.
There are many more reasons that Vista sucks.

Windows Vista is Microsoft's upcoming operating system (OS), due to be released in December of 2006. It will be the most powerful and most technologically advanced system in history, and will integrate web security into it's core (unlike all other Microsoft Products).
It will be the first system using DirectX 10, which is supposedly a big step forward in graphics technology. Halo 2 will be released ONLY for Vista, as an incentive. Also, Flight Simulator 2006 (aka FSX) will be released, and will unleash the next generation of simulated flight.
Microsoft has received much criticism due to excessive focus on visual features, rather than performance, within Windows Vista. Also, the price of Vista Ultimate is expected to be in the appauling $200-400 range, which may possibly worsen Microsoft's low sales (due to the XBOX 360).
Recently, they have received immense criticism for Microsoft's security and privacy settings, and have been accused of making spyware, known as the WGA (Windows Genuine Notification). Unfortunately, this technology will be integrated and unremovable from Vista, which also may decrease their popularity and sales.
System requirements also pose an issue to many consumers, due to their lack of the latest technology, which is QUITE out of reach to most, due to price. Microsoft recommends Vista users to have Dual-Core 64-bit Processors, and at LEAST 1GB Dual-Channel DDR2 Memory, and PCI-Express Motherboards. These features are still extremely expensive at this time, and with people not having access to it, Vista will have dramatically less copies sold.
Pirated copies of Windows Vista will not function, due to "genuine-technology", so millions of users from third-world countries may be stuck with Windows XP or earlier versions.
Last, but certainly not least, Internet Explorer 7 will be released with Windows Vista, and is said to be "much improved, secure and optimized", however many users will not be using it due to IE's history and lack of trust for Microsoft's browser.
