I will have to say Vista even though I am more fond of OS X and unix like systems.

Balto Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Vista for me too! Perhaps I'm too used to Windows but Vista has a more professionally done GUI. Though if you were to compare wallpapers from that two screenshots, I'll have to say the Aurora.

snakeeyes Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Vista has a more futuristic look in my opinion, it looks cooler, mac os x looks a bit dull compared to vista, I mean I like aqua a lot but when u look at aero u want to use it.

CLiDE FTW!!1 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Choosing between OS X and Vista is like choosing between two girls. They're both hot, but OS X has a better personality. (I think OS X looks more polished than Vista, though. [example, Vista still has Windows 3.1 icons...]) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/104619-does-vista-look-prettier-than-os-x/#findComment-745101 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLiDE FTW!!1 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 ^ There's a whole wack of them in System32 and I stumbled across this awhile ago, I remember seeing this in Vista RTM http://bink.nu/photos/news_article_images/...2/original.aspx Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/104619-does-vista-look-prettier-than-os-x/#findComment-745149 Share on other sites More sharing options...

iSkylla Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Choosing between OS X and Vista is like choosing between two girls. They're both hot, but OS X has a better personality. Perfect analogy. Except in my opinion, I prefer OSX just because I've been on Apple OS since System 6.

Suzie's Soliloquy Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 In my opinion, Aqua looks much better than Aero, Aqua is much more subtle and to be frank beautiful, whereas Vista looks as thought it tries too hard Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/104619-does-vista-look-prettier-than-os-x/#findComment-745263 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDRacer48 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I have to go Vista ( - the side bar, that thing is a piece of {censored}, plus who needs 2 fluffing clocks!) Actually the Vista UI is the only reason I upgraded from XP MCE 2005...

Suzie's Soliloquy Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Tbh Aero is the only reason I switched from XP to Vista... but after about three months I really couldn't stick Vista anymore so I switched back. I still have it available to boot though Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/104619-does-vista-look-prettier-than-os-x/#findComment-745286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakeeyes Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Vista's interface is something I always found cool even though I love aqua as well. yeah u r right that Vista does try a bit hard, its tooooo bright compared to aqua.

Suzie's Soliloquy Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 In my opinion the Progress Bars on Vista are just absolutely atrocious, the glimmer goes the wrong way and looks like the progress bar's advancing when it's not... The progress bar in Aqua tbh is a thing of beauty (y) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/104619-does-vista-look-prettier-than-os-x/#findComment-745383 Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakeeyes Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 I agree levkovski, but don't u think tiger's aqua interface was better than leopard's?

Suzie's Soliloquy Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Tbh yes I do, which is partially why I haven't upgraded yet. I quite like the brushed metal and pinstripes....

CLiDE FTW!!1 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I used to think Tiger looked nicer, but the uniform look makes Leopard look much, much more professional. Pinstripes and brushed metal is sooo early 2000's.

snakeeyes Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 I added a poll now, its a bit funny though. Really, why do u like luna more than aero?

Suzie's Soliloquy Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I never said I liked it more, but I think it just looks cleaner and I detest the aero soundscheme Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/104619-does-vista-look-prettier-than-os-x/#findComment-745535 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDRacer48 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I don't know... after Aero for 9 months I started to miss Luna... I don't miss the original Luna, but I do miss the MCE Luna. It looked nice. Everytime, I see a computer running Xp, I can't help but to think about the good ole days...

snakeeyes Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Yeah media center's theme was cool, I have also noticed that even if I turn off aero, ram usage remains high for me, is it because of drm stuff?

MadDoggyca Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 how cares what it looks like as long as it runs right... vista has the built in previw window in explore.exe to the right side plus the bult in search is sexy enough for me and its is usefull.. the most sexest thing in Vista over xp is DX 10.1 (sp1) and the 9800 GX2 video cards far as I consider windows Classic is the most sexest GUI to date..
