参考文本：

"Ladies and gentlemen, the WOW starts now."

With aerial acrobatics（n.空中杂技）, Microsoft launched its new operating system. The software giant has spent 5 years and 6 billion dollars developing Windows Vista which hits stores tomorrow.

"This is an important product in terms of its future legs, it is the system we're going to all be running, corporate and personal, a few years out."

90% of the world's computers use windows, it's one of Microsoft's most profitable products. But Vista was delayed for two years because of bugs and kinks（n.(结构或设计等的)缺陷） in the system.

"They would hear that something is not working, and go ehhhhhhh..."

"Stick here, you want some more?"

Malisa Regan, a therapist（n.临床医学家） and mother, was one of fifty test users. She complained to Microsoft that when you went into the photo gallery, it only had icons to email and print.

"And I want a burn."

So Microsoft added an icon to burn photos to a disk with a simple click.

"And you know, it did dawn on me that every time somebody burns an image to a disk that's because I wanted it in there."

Windows Vista will allow you to navigate（v.遨游，航行） the internet more easily and more securely, maybe not a tech revolution, but within a year, for 100 million users, the computer will have changed its tune.
