wrong section. After over 3000 posts you are still not familiar as to where things must be posted.
I guess all M$ fanboys are like that, that way they can match with their OS:p

its dimensions are only 41 x 40 px. :D

Anyways I guess this the image u want. I am not in Windows now...so will look into it later in PS.
But from the look it seems that the main Windows Vista logo(inside the circle) has been Radial blurred*www.istartedsomething.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/09/vistalogosound.jpg(zoom mode) many times and then played with layer opacities and blending modes. Try it.

iMav, I tried in Photoshop and came up with this.
*www.Photo-Host.org/view/496865logo.jpg

I radial blurred the inside logo many times(initially in draft...then final to good or excellent). Put the layer in Pin light mode. Also using Liquify tool, I made outer strokes on that duplicated logo layer..then followed the previous process of radial blur again.
For the glow I created white filled circle overlapping it. Then made fill opacity to 0%. Then applied Inner Shadow settings with blue color in Overlay mode. or you can also use Dodge tool.
I have uploaded PSD for your reference.
