Windows includes a screen capture/screenshot tool that is actually pretty decent. You can take region captures or full screenshots and easily save them using this tool. The fact is that the Mac came out with a 'snipping tool' app way, way before Windows ever did. OS X comes with an app called Grab (as in 'screen grab'), in your Utilities folder.

Note: The snipping tool doesn’t exist on every version of Vista. To turn it on, you’ll have to go to “Turn Windows features on or off” in Control Panel, and check the box for the Tablet PC utilities.
