Then some of the skinning suites, such as Vista Transformation Pack, will probably start offering it as an alternative when skinning XP.

Also, for some reason it hides the maximize and minimize buttons in Firefox (maybe because it's full screen) =show stopper. If that was fixed and the control panel was remove I could use this full-time. Nosh wrote:

I'm going to keep an eye on the progress of FastAero because the next version sounds like it is a big improvement.I'm glad to hear it worked for you though.

Also, why start notepad each time the program starts? I have 1 GB RAM and 256 MB video memory but when I move the windows around there's a choppy feel to things coz the blur effects are not rendered fast enough. Was interesting to try out, nevertheless.
