It does use up a good amount of resources, but I’ve finally gotten to the point that I have 2GB of RAM, and I figure I might as well use it.

If they didn’t change it then everyone would be saying “why didn’t they change it.” It’s tough to please everyone, but personally I like Vista’s UI better than XP’s.

Yet the current aspect ratio trend is doing the opposite. Vista's sidebar is fitting for the new widescreen standard.

Many sidebar gadgets work efficiently. The Longhorn doubledeck might not fit users needs on a widescreen laptop. On a very high and wide flat screen? Not sure. It still would be wasted place.
