Aero interface for xp
I cant remember clearly but I think during vista development MS said that
they will release the glass interface and few other vista features for xp as separate downloads. Is that correct?

Is that correct? I don't think so. If you want a Vista type Desktop in XP there is not much of a problem tho. For example a very good free Sidebar is here... http://www.desktopsidebar.com/ To carry on with the Vista look a very good tutorial here... http://bhandler.spaces.live.com/blog...7F3!1708.entry He is doing everything with MS stuff for free but does mention a pay item (Windows Blinds methinks) that if you followed through on that you can probably get the whole Aero look and feel.

Aero interface for xp
My prediction, for whatever that's worth, is that people will get tired
of the new interface and switch off most of it in favor of better performance, similar to what happened with Windows XP. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est wasy wrote: "Slap" wrote: "wasy" wrote in message ...

Not the classic interface, Ken, but with virtually all the Luna eye
candy turned off (as in Control Panel System Advanced tab Performance - Settings button Visual Effects tab). Perhaps Microsoft anticipated this by allowing users to choose settings between "best appearance" and "best performance". If I'm able to choose between glitz and snappier performance I'll choose the latter, and from what I've read about Vista I'll be able to make similar choices. I'll leave the looking glass to Alice. ;-) --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Ken Blake, MVP wrote: On Tue, 22 May 2007 09:21:17 -0400, Leonard Grey wrote: My prediction, for whatever that's worth, is that people will get tired of the new interface and switch off most of it in favor of better performance, similar to what happened with Windows XP.
