Vista still hasn't catched up.
True, but neither has KDE, nor Gnome
(that said I think Konqueror is foxier than Firefox - but without the memory abuse the latter is reknowned for). When I look at screenshots from KDE and Gnome (incl. my own Desktop) and compare with AmigaOS 4 I have to say it looks quite modern. That said I haven't tried anything newer than 3.1 - that one however is still ahead of modern mainstream OS'es.

Funny... You seem to have had no contact with WB at all, and you don't realize that all the things you're enumerating were already done years ago on Amiga.
I think there's a culture shock here, which might explain why you can live your little dream without noticing the big world around.
To help you understand, to us you look like a Windows-user would be like for you when he would candidly explain how superior Windows XP is to any other OS because it has a mouse - and you can even put icons on the desktop!
I stopped using Amigas in 96, when I got my first PC and went straight to Debian+Wmaker (and even though it's old, Wmaker still does think more efficiently than KDE, especially usability-wise). However, I still have a memory, and I know the world didn't appear suddenly round the year 2000.
