                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Minus, isn't this just a theme with new wall paper and icons?

Yeah, that's basically what it comes down to, although it's about a 450MB skin when extracted. its way cooler than anything i've ever seen from style XP or window Blinds. it also changes your MSGina.dll to add a VISTA logo and your "Fast User Switching Interface" has been updated aswell.<br><br>The top menu also does some cool stuff<br><br>From the screen shots i've seen of Vista it looks very similair it terms of looks. No functionality yet we'll have to wait for that. - i;m still trying to get a BETA copy of VISTA. Our Company's a Microsoft certified Partner so i'm hoping we can organise something  :wink: <br><br>Minus Human]]></content:encoded>
