The beautfy of the Macintosh: MAC ad style.

Vista: Oh the vista . . .

. . . Bloatware.

Of course my all time favorite . . . stand aside, eh hem let the PENGUIN THROUGH PLEASE . . . 5, 4, 3, 2, and the most innovative one yet, drumroll please . . . UBUNTU (the GUI shown is available right now and is known as Compiz Fusion running with GNOME on Ubuntu.)
