Microsoft has released an interim build of Windows Vista, Build 5342, today to a select group of testers. This is the first build to come with the 'real' Aero Glass: fully scalable vector based transparencies that take advantage of pixel shading. The previous builds contained Aero Express and Aero Express with transparancy, not the real Aero Glass. Other notable improvements: a complete firewall, support for Pocket PC 2000, 2002, and 2003 synchronization, and more. Flexbeta has screenshots, but Flexbeta seems pretty down to me at the moment.

If Vista comes out as stable and secure as promised there won't be any need for Linux or MacOS.
You seem to be missing the point of free as in freedom. I for one will never deal with product activation again. I can do whatever I want with the software I use. Some people value that, and always will, even if Vista is an awesome, secure OS (for the same of 90% of computer users, I hope it is).
