    Look good to whom? :~ I'd rather see a cheaper price than an updated "look and feel and experience".

    Free sounds like it is cheaper - until you factor in the cost of time installing, repairing, updating, re-installing, re-repairing, re-updating and then the cost of new glasses that dim the bright white so you don't ruin your eyes... mutter, mutter, mutter...

    - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

            I think the biggest objection I have to WinX, once the installation and update woes are done, is the boring, flat, nearly unusable UI. Who tested this and said, "Yes, this is the way to go". Were they those people who have that strange colourblindness that only lets them see in black and white? Do these people only live in houses painted all white, with white carpets and white, vinyl furniture and white painted shelving and other furniture? ...and if they own a dog, or more likely a cat, it's a white one - with long fluffy fur that needs a lot of maintenance? I hereby start a campaign to bring back Colour and the Aero interface to Windows. Who's with me? Torches and pitchforks can be picked up at the lumberyard!

            Aero was dropped because it takes more processing power than flat colours which decreases battery life.

                It should still be an option that can be turned on if the user wants it.

                  I concur. Why couldn't it be an option? ...because people would switch it on and then complain about battery life being reduced? I don't think so.

                      All designers at Microsoft seem to have left the company a few years back.

                        Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn! Maybe I'm weird but I don't go the theatre to look at the stage and curtains!
