To quote Microsoft.com:

"In computers that can use the new Windows Vista Display Driver Model (WVDDM), windows are translucent, meaning that it's easier to focus on the content of a window rather than the window itself."

WTF? Do they think we're that stupid? So, lemme get this straight, you need a $3,000 computer so that Windows Vista can make the titlebar translucent so you don't get distracted from your work? Who get's distracted by the titlebars? Two words: SUPERFLUOUS BULLSH*T. Everyone likes eyecandy, but you can have a sweet setup on Linux running an old P2. Man I hate Bill.

Linux can do translucent Windows, and Windows XP probably can too.
This is not a Windows help forum, however please do feel free to sign up and agree or disagree with our views on Microsoft.

Oh and FUCKMicrosoft! :fu:

Yep translucency is already supported in XP. My nvidia context menu lets me turn it on.

That's not in-built transluceny though is it?

It doesn't come with XP... you need the Nvidia drivers installed for it to work. :rolleyes:
