Vista: Too much eye-candy trying to cover the fact that they've eliminated the most important features from the original plans.
Leopard: Mainly eye-candy plus TimeMachine (with eye-candy) and QuickLook.
The time for revolutionary new operating systems was in the 80s 'til 2001 or something. Nowadays, it's more about the glitter and gold. Functionality takes a backseat (see Leopard's changes to the Dock for example). Here's to the hope for a better 10.6. (Maybe we'll even see the day when Apple goes back to calling their OS by the numbers instead of stupid names that have *nothing* whatsoever to do with the content? Naah. It'll have a big cat's name, I guess.)
Tiger's still the best OS around, but over time, Leopard's inevitable.
