Windows in Terminor: the Sarah Connor Chronicles

Ha! I knew I wasn't the only one who noticed that! If you have been watching Fox's new show, Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles, then you too may have noticed something odd in the scene where John Connor visits a  nameless computer franchise store to in order to get some quick internet access. As he begins working on the PC, which initially appears to be a version of Windows Vista, strange things appear. First, there is the chess game, then some sort of control panel where the icons have no labels, some sort of floating search box (LeSearch?), and finally, an IE options bar that is launched from the task bar. His Vista sidebar even featured a Windows Media Player gadget that was never publicly released! Maybe that is the OS of the future? The iStartedSomething blog has more details on the blow-by-blow, screenshot geekery for us to ponder.
