Microsoft bins Vista scrap metal
Wednesday, July 12th, 2006
Bowing to user pressure, Microsoft says it plans to change the ‘Basic’ Vista appearance, following 
complaints from beta testers that the Basic UI is ugly. In the Windows Vista Team Blog, Vista Community leader Nick White admits the developers have heard the complaints ‘loud and clear’ and plans to improve the design before final release. However, the company is not yet giving a firm date when the new appearance will turn up in the beta cycle.
At issue is the new interface technology called Aero. By moving much more of the graphics processing to the GPU built into most modern PCs - as Games designers have done for some time - Microsoft has been able to create some of the graphics trickery, such as Desktop Composition, Glass window frames with coloured glass, window thumbnails and
Flip3D, in the new UI that we have come to associate with the Macintosh interface. PC Pro: News: Microsoft bins Vista ’scrap metal’
