It has a nice desktop, I especially like the transparent recycle bin, and the semi transparent task bar.
It also has some nice transparency on the top bar of open windows.
There are two new wallpapers so far, this is the second one.
As promised, a much better, and better looking Alt+Tab bar
The graphics of Vista are really great, but I had a few problems with the usability of it. First, my mouse was extremely jerky, very hard to use. Also, it just ran considerably slow overall. I was suprised, as my CPU was rarely, if ever at 100%, so that was not the slowdown. All I can conclude is that I have just too little or RAM to run it smooth. But, when I turned off most of the special effects stuff, so it looked like Windows 2000, it was still having problems. Also, the same thing happened with a second mouse I used. Possibly it was a driver issue, but I doubt it. Also, I could not get my wireless card to work with it. Device manager didn't even recognize it. I installed the drivers for it, which did nothing. The mouse issues really caused me problems, and I was not up to do more tests because of it. If I happen to pick up some more ram, I will try it again and see if there are still problems. But, as it is, I am dissapointed with the problems that I found.

They declared Longhorn a failure. They have been working on fixing it for about a year and a half now. I am not sure if this is what they have been working on, or the remanents of the failure.
Reccomended memory is 1GB, 512minimum, and 2GB being good.
M$ should give XP a GUI overhaul and pass it off to the public as Vista! :rolleyes: The sad thing is that 90% of consumers would probably actually fall for this! :wacko:
