Aero Glass For Windows Vista Not “To Die For”

Saturday, July 22nd, 2006

Wikipedia defines aero this way "Windows Aero is the name for the new graphical user interface and visual style in Windows Vista. Its name is an acronym (or backronym) for Authentic, Energetic, Reflective and Open. Intended to be a cleaner, more powerful, more efficient and more aesthetically pleasing user interface, it also includes new transparencies, animations and eye candy.

Since mid-2005, Microsoft has gradually added elements of Aero to released Windows Vista builds. Build 5270 (released in December 2005) contained an implementation of Aero which was virtually complete, according to sources at Microsoft; however, small changes will continue to be made until Windows Vista is released."

Basically, Aero is a fancy (optional) graphics scheme for Windows Vista. It’s optional because a lot of graphics cards don’t have enough horsepower to run Aero — so for those who can’t (the rest of the masses), they get the base user interface.
