    Not if you choose the minty one, it isn't. Microsoft ditches Aero for Weight[^].

    Henry Minute Girl: (staring) "Why do you need an icy cucumber?" “I want to report a fraud. The government is lying to us all.” I wouldn't let CG touch my Abacus! When you're wrestling a gorilla, you don't stop when you're tired, you stop when the gorilla is. Cogito ergo thumb - Sucking my thumb helps me to think.

      Great then we can go back to using just 16 color displays, makes it so much easier. 640K memory do we really need any more than that?

                This is all about Sinofsky attempting to make a mark. As far as I can tell, that mark is a dripping splat on a windscreen.

                          The El Reg one. Traditionally when Microsoft launched a new version of Windows, it carried over the older apps – it had to, to ensure uptake. This time, it seems like the older apps are being treated like second-class citizens for the sake of Metro, swiped off to a land of dragons. Yeaaaaaah riiiight....
