Windows Vista has had something of a troubled birth. Hyped features were pulled, and the project as a whole took far longer to complete than expected, partly due to standing still while MS dropped everything to work on WinXP Service Pack 2, but in part also due to a decision to "reset" and scrap much of the new development. This has led some commentators to dub the project a "train wreck."

I can only see other OS's stagnate further with the lackluster Vista appearance. I need a revolution on the desktop.
It sounds like you need to branch out and get away from the MS thing for awhile. I have been excited about the X Window compositing manager's like Beryl lately. They offer some of the usability enhancements you get from Aero like live thumbnails with much less hardware requirements. Keeping up to date with the evolution of desktop linux is very interesting for me. I just loaded Gnome 2.18 and started using the integrated desktop search more. I was playing around with adesklets widgets on XFCE4 and was very impressed. I find it all very exciting. Download yourself a copy of Ubuntu or Fedora 6 and try them out. The only thing I am disappointed with is missing out on the latest Windows 3D games.
