If you're interested, you can try out something much more recent and fun
than the Vista "Aero Glass":

Take a look at:

What's "fun" about it?

Lots, if you have something better than a vt100 80x25 to display it:

For a rapid view:

For a much better idea of what it looks like:

and a much more sedate presentation is shown here:

These are all examples of "XGL" that is available on various Linux
systems. You can play with it on your PC...

Have fun,
Martin
