What difference does it make?
I simply do not understand this mentality to bemoan Windows on a Mac forum. It certainly must be a sign of boredom.

No, it's so we can appreciate what we have.
MS seems to have spent a lot of effort on graphics, but it still looks like your typical illogical Windows inner workings, if not even more confusing than before.
Vista is break from a lot of the past just like the OSX was from OS 9, but it must be done. It will be difficult since the choice of hardware is, well, limitless. It will be bloated in the beginning because it has to retain some of the compatibility with the old, but it as the time goes by, it will be honed and streamlined.

Do you think it is that huge? Does that mean Mac OS X is at least 5 years ahead regarding Vista?

I agree. Out of the gate, I think vista will suck. A couple of years down the road and it will be pretty good.

a couple of years down the road we'll be running OS X Elephant, the one that stomps on all others. Hopefully those OS W (vista kernal) rumors aren't true, but we'll see...

That's Apple's challenge. Keeping one step ahead of windows. Leopard preview should give us some insight.

Flamewar? what do you mean? It doesn't matter if your a Mac or Windows fan, everyone is pretty much in agreement that Vista is a complete piece of shit, just a bad carbon copy of OSX.
See for yourself ...

A blind Leopard can't see a Vista.

That's to be expected, one would at least hope for such improvements, the question is which direction is it going? Is it simpler to use? Is it more user friendly? Does it improve one's work flow? Is it more straight forward?
From the screen shots I see your typical MS Windows with all it's unneeded complexities and then some just to make it "more sophisticated."

Actually, I think NT was the break for MS, when they went with a Unix type kernel architecture.
Vista will just be the latest iteration of NT, albeit with some new bell and whistles.

Well then, to you, Vista is just like OS X. No explanations needed as you see what you see. Kinda pointless to explain otherwise isn't?

Great point there.
