I got ahold of a beta copy of the next version of Windows, Windows Vista. I have to say, it is very interesting. I don't really like the way it looks right now but the stuff I liked can't be shown in mere screenshots. Windows Vista offers a brand new 3D interface where every window is an object in a 3D world, and is manipulated as such. You can zoom windows, have them animate when you move, minimize, maximize, close, etc. That's all it has to offer for now, but eventually you'll be able to take advantage of the 3D interface to effectively sort all your windows to improve your efficiency.

Without further ado, here are the screenshots.

Also, you will see that Internet Explorer has a brand new interface. And yes, it's fugly. So don't even think of commenting about that. :P
