264826 2004-08-24 09:37:00 I don't like to be sucked into 3D shell hype.

Microsoft have plain-facedly admitted that they are putting all these souped-up features into Longhorn so that a computer uses more resources by simply having folders open.

So, Microsoft want people to need powerful graphics cards just to run their flashy shell. Screw them, I say. There's no real need for 3D effects or transparency.

264827 2004-08-24 09:54:00 The Nvidia drivers give you this option. Well 61.77 does. Just go to Properties/settings/advanced/name of videocard/desktop management.

Turn on Nview Desktop manager. then OK. Select a program (ie: nternet Explorer), right mouse button / nview options/transparent. IT does the same thing.

264828 2004-08-24 10:33:00 I have been playing round with Longhorn (beta) I tried Avalon (the built in 3D desktop) UGH! What a disaster (and a resource hog.) It looks horrible, I can't say whether it is "true" or not but its disgusting. mr_rix (5375)
