Vista is the ugliest goddamned thing around

Not sure what you mean exactly. Vista is hell of a lot better-looking than XP's falsely cheerful primary colors or Win95-2000's flat gray because it had to not use too much of the palette on 256-color VGA. It's the first thing Microsoft has made that actually looks like it has professional graphic designers behind it.

beveled everything, cheap looking gloss effects everywhere, obnoxious icons. Vanilla XP was ugly, but it was at least possible to change just about everything around to your liking.

I'm pretty sure it still is themable, and more easily. Anyway, Mac OS X is about twice as glossy and obnoxious: I feel Vista strikes a good balance between serious-looking and ooh shiny.
