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.

When Bill Gates went batshit. See useless.
Honestly, this pile of shite won't run for longer than 10 minutes without crashing or dimming your screen for a window that says "OMG YOU JUST MOVED YOUR MOUSE ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS". NOTHING is compatible with it. Unless you have shitloads of ram and an epic processor, stick with XP. IF you have shitloads of ram and an epic processor, stick with XP. Also, stfu linux fanboys, where's your .exe's? ;) INSTALL FROM THE COMMAND LINE, LEET
Person 1 (Fanboy): OMG LOOK AT HOW SLEEK AND AMAZING VISTA IS
Person 2 (Common sense): It looks nice but it's unreliable as fuck.
Person 1 (Fanboy): STFU ITS AMAZING IT CAME OUT AFTER XP SO IT MUST BE GOOD.
Person 2 (Common sense): No, it's useless.

Windows XP... with 75% more annoyances! Yay!
Bob: You got Vista?
Joe: Yeah, but it cost me an extra $375 to run it... and it freezes all the time. You thinking about upgrading?
Bob: Nah, man. I hate Mac OSX. I don't need a half assed emulation of it.
