      Actually, it was supposed to be images of the new "5 4 3 2 1...CRASH" feature, but the software couldn't count, stopped, and couldn't remember where it was!

    Or is graphics memory the only meaningful metric?
    Isn't that the only metric by which Vista is an upgrade, anyway?

  5. A quick word on the widgets by Tibor+the+Hun · · Score: 3, Funny

    I like the screenshot with widgets:
    Link.

    With the timer, I can time almost anything! (Makes you wonder what is it that I can't time, and why do they need such an obvious explanation?)

    The icon for both a number puzzle and picture puzzle is the same! (Requiring me to read the text, completely making the icon irrelevant. --yes, yes, beta version, whatever)

    But the best thing of all, and the widget that I think SpaceX is most excited about, is the Launcher!
    Name your price Microsoft, name your price!

    Solitare Vista is going to be the best-looking card simulation game available on any platform! I can't wait to get my hands on Vista now!

    For the number of you people bashing Microsoft, a hell of a lot of you are looking at those screenshots, so if you don't like Vista, please get off the damn site.
