Default Vista or not?

is this picture visa or not?

ironicly, the slight transparency reduces contrast thus the irony in the phrase "Vista brings clarity to your world"

I'm not impressed...

well... back to the question "vista or not?"

That's a skin for Vista. Vista has a search feature right in the start menu. The whole window in that screen is transparent. With Vista, only the window borders can be transparent. I like the looks and new features Vista is going to have.

That isnt Vista. That is a Vista skin for XP. Easiest way to tell. The Start Menu. It doesnt have the search box o it. That is a new feature.

The Vista Trans pack is good. But i think that the Windowsblinds skins are much better. Give an overall better conversion of XP to Vista look alike.

i like that Vista is so nice looking, and it has a few good functions at hand. My hope is that it will be able to detect its own mistakes....i hate when explorer crashes....

That is most likely a Windows XP theme, the term "My"(My Documents, My computer) are not in Vista.

Okay to prove my point i will show you.



Okay that is an older build of Vista. Notice the Start Menu with the search bar?



There is a shot of XP. I just took that. Notice that the Start Menu just has a blank space where Vista has the search menu? That is because that is actually where the Log Off and Turn Off buttons are actually located.
