Ina Fried: I expected to see some lower Vista prices in this weekend's ads, but was surprised to see just how low the prices had fallen.

Officially the price cuts announced by Microsoft on Thursday don't take effect until later this year when Service Pack 1 hits retail shelves. However, the company had said that many retailers were offering promotions that bring the software to its lower price.

First, a few words about the following screenshot. To be perfectly clear, this is not an original image. The window and its contents (address bar, tab, window title, page content) have been heavily recomposited to better fit in a smaller image size as well as to obscure any traces where this might have come from. I did not take the screenshot nor do I have access to the beta (so no emails please but do send bribes regardless). Having said that, I can easily vouch for its authenticity.

Personally speaking, it is rather suitable for Windows Vista.

Last summer, when i was suring in the internet, this title attract my mind by chance in someone's blog.  The moment i saw the pictures, i knew i would get them anyway. Fortunately, i got them from a friend of mine. Now, i want share them with you because they are fairly cute and i'm sure you will like them. If you don't like them, it also can be a good idea to send them to your girlfriend. They will attach to the taskbar themselves as soon as you let them out. And it works well in Windows Vista.

People regards golden as royalty, elegance and glory down the ages. Since Vista was born, all  its features have pushed it to be the most gorgeous OS through the history. I have alaways spared all my effort to find a theme which can perfectly match it. Now, i make it. When golden meets transparency, it is bound to be the best for Vista, the best for Aero.
