You want pictures?
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/compare-editions/home-premium.aspx
has pictures. While the graphics are pretty enough, the actual
windows are rather bland, and the "Microsoft Flight Simulator X"
DirectX10 demo is shown in all of its glory. A blog entry
explains this controversy in more detail:

I'm not sure Plasma does much for me either, though the
stickynote capability is mildly interesting. The interface
does look highly themable, a plus.

** Posted from http://www.teranews.com **
=================================
Plasma nor much else of recent origin does much for me.
I would like to see an interface very like a CLI, but
with unobtrusive improvements thrown in that don't
interfere with its basically sparse environment.
Thirty years ago I was working in a unix system and
in MIT's ITS. None of the elaboration I've seen since
was any improvement on that. OK on the purty pitchers
and all, but I'd like that *basic relevant usefulness
back*.
