DirectX 10/10.1/11? (Which in the end means realtime graphics that cannot be replicated on XP, unless you start some crazy hacking that'll probably be done when DX14 comes out
What's amazing is how you can see this feature being demonstrated in the screenshot. WOW! All I can see is a clock, weather and dock, so my x-ray vision must be broken.
For the record, I've had a Vista system for 3 years and have been running Win7 over a year and a half now. So I know what goes on underneath the hood of an OS. That's my job.
I just choose not to shoot with it.
If that's what you were looking for... Then the little text input field in the start menu isn't there in XP.

That's funny. The ever-popular crappy-ass over-sized start-menu that's so literally cluttered with bull-shit, that you actually need a search-engine just to find your apps.
Who was the genius who thought that would be cool? Because to me, it's not. He needs to be busted right in the knee caps for that. That wasn't even a brainfart, that was a straight out aneurysm!
It's why I hated Vista in the first place and it's why I'm in no rush to migrate right now, even though everyone else may think that Windows7 is better. A turd cannot be polished.
Thanks anyway for this rather engaging yet converse bit of dialog, but you gotta keep it real with me.

Ditto CP, its absolutely useless and just another restriction to start menu design.

.........er, I mean . Cp's right, is what I mean. Right?

It's tweaked with a texture I made from the Propaganda Tiles collection. Iremoved "apply to gray pixels" to just texturize the blue parts of the skin. And then a touch of recoloring.
Personally, I think this is proof that texturizing actually can add something really great to skins. The original is awesome on its own, but it gives a smoother overall impression this way.
Oh, and it's the "Dark revisited" skin on firefox.

Tinted DX and weather widget. I plan to upload this widget seperately also, for those who don't want the DX. Also, seperate weather.
