    I mean it's new for Vista.

    None of the graphics bods here know what it is and they can spot pretty much any typeface that is in popular use.

    Ahhhh.

    It looks like a cross between Arial & Tahoma, if you manage to find out what it is, let me know please ... I wouldn'd mind downloading it.

    Have a look on Wincustomize. You can get skins for windows and stuff.. so it may be possible to find the font somewhere round there.

    ps.. you need windowblinds to skin windows..

    You can't, there are quite a few things the GUI does that no skinning app can do to XP. You have to see it running to get the fuss.

    It's not that much better, hardly worth the extra hardware overheads IMHO.

    DX10 will be the main reason for majority of the male population to install this..

    Some of the effects it can create look insane!

    This is the next generation of graphics technology..
