In Part 4 of my Windows Vista review, I look at the touchy-feely side of Windows Vista, the new user experiences that really set it apart from its predecessors.
Like its predecessors, Windows Vista is ultimately just a tool, of course, but it's one that provides you with an emotional relationship that you just didn't get from Windows XP. Those new qualities extend from the packaging of the system, to the new system sounds, to the new visual capabilities and glass-like icons, to the subtle animations, and other features. And in this part of my Windows Vista review, I'd like to take a walk on the touchy-feely side of technology and explain why Windows Vista might just make you care, for the first time, that you're using Windows. It's good enough, in fact, that you might just find yourself proselytizing it in public. And you thought I was a geek.
