I wouldn't know about it in Vista, either, but I've seen it in KDE 
before and really hate it. It makes screens much harder to read and 
really slows down the system. (At least for us folk who don't have the 
kinds of graphics hardware that wastrels such as Vista seem to demand.) 
I turn off such eye candy! So I sincerely hope that they're not wasting 
developer time on such things and instead dealing with real issues.
