    It's similar in concept to Apple's Expose. Instead of Alt-Tab (which is still available) to switch between windows, you press a button and all the windows go into a 3-d mode. you then pick the window you want.

    Yup. But, you better have a decent video card for it to be smooth. Actually anything newer than a GF FX5200 and an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro. It doesn't have to be faster than those cards, just newer. Even Intel's GMA 900 is ok.

    Aero is quite speedy in my X800XL which is now considered old.

    Yup. OSX was ridiculously slow in a G4-400 back in 2001. But, the freedom to not have to allocate ram manually to each app was a blessing. Yun nga lang, ang baaaaagal. But by 2003, 10.2.3 was only occasionally crawling (only when ram gets short). After that, everything OSX (Jaguar, Tiger) was sweet.......

    Occasionally, I'd go to my kid's room and play with the Mini and iBook 800 (ignoring my daughter's protests to not mess with her computers) just to see and compare features. Tiger simply amazes. Then, I'd think back to 2001 and go back to playing with Vista RC1 and think, "You know, Vista isn't so bad at this stage".....

    I don't know. I can only speak from the DOS games I own. I rather use DOSBox since it takes too much work to run games like Crusader: No Remorse in Windows.

    I only have a few DOS games left:
    Crusader: No Remorse
    Steel Panthers and expansion cd
    Star Wars: Tie Fighter

    The rest are Lucasarts adventure games. For those, I use ScummVM.

    Another game that works fine in Vista RC1 is MechCommander 2 (along with MechCommander Gold) which is a legal freebie download, by the way....

    So far, I've attempted to install and then play the following games:

    MS Combat Flight Simulator 2 - successful install, no problems with gameplay
    MechCommander 2 - successful install, no problems with gameplay
    Dungeon Keeper 2 - successful install, must be unpatched, limited to 800x600, otherwise, no problems with gameplay
    Blitzkrieg - successful install, no problems with gameplay
    Command and Conquer: Generals - successful install, no problems with gameplay
    Pacific Fighters - install won't even run
    Doom 3 - successful install, no problems with gameplay. But, my ATI Catalyst Vista driver needs work:

    Try as I might to get more use and customization of the Windows Sidebar in Vista RC1, I finally ditched it for something much more useful and something I'm already using in XP Home SP2: SmartBar XP:

    I had to sign in with my Windows Live ID before it let me get to the download page. But, it still said RC1.
