Vista.
Also, in my opinion there is too much 'bloat' (bells and whistles
which
add huge memory and disk requirements and therefore perfectly
serviceable PC's are unable to be upgraded) although it does have some
very nice and updated features.
I personally do not like all the 'glitzy' graphics that are very nice
for some
things but are totally unnecessary for the majority of things I do
plus the
fact that only the latest (within the last 2-3 years) video cards are
capable of utilizing the 'glitz' due to video memory requirements.
