Bill Gates fronts UK Vista launch - pics

Bill Gates stopped in at British Library in London this morning to officially launch Windows Vista and we've even got the pictures to prove it.

It's not often Gates ventures to these shores of the launch of a new product. He hasn't been anywhere near the UK launches of Xbox or Xbox 360 but he was on hand to lets members of the press know why you need Vista in your life.

It's been almost 24 years since Microsoft introduced the key commands Ctrl, Alt and Delete along with the blue screen of death into our lives but we haven't looked back since. Gates talked about Vista being the building blocks of a digital lifestyle while pointing out the number of improvements to the operating system.

Vista launches today across the UK. You can try your luck and WIN a copy, or if you've already got your hands on one, take a look at our Vista feature here. Thanks to our friends on Home Cinema Choice (new issue on sale Feb 15).
