I mean, yes, it does look cooler than the Mac UI, but is that was an operating system should do? Should it look cool with 3D effects and moving desktops and high-contrast black toolbars? In my opinion no. A good OS is unnoticed, it just lets you get your work done and does not get in the way.
If I'm working on an intricate, elegant design, I don't want fancy icons and toolbars and side bars and deskops taking away from it. I want a vanilla work surface for me to concentrate on my work.

Agree with you here. Vista has cute graphics, but the interface as a whole just gets in the way of your work. I am a graphic/web designer and I like monochrome themes like OS X with/without UNO or Windows Classic theme. It lets me better perceive colors and the designs I do. It is also easier on the eyes.
In Vista, you get the strong black + white canvas combo which simply kills.
So, sure, Microsoft FINALLY has decent looking graphics on it's OS, took them seven years to get it, well, copy it
So, about time is all I say to this.
But then again, it is about to rain in their party for Leopard is around the corner and when it comes it will be "hasta la
Vista baby"!
