Glass is cool

Well, after only hearing about it and worshiping it from afar, I finally got Aero Glass to work on my desktop Vista system. And I have to say, the eye candy is cool. I'm sure that the novetly and excitement will wear off shortly, but for now, Glass is pretty darn spanky. Now, I won't tell you all the hoops I had to jump through to get my system running on it, but one interesting anecdote is this. I was running RC1 when I upgraded my video card to a model that would run Glass. I expected that after installing the video card and rebooting, that Vista would figure out my newfound power and "Glass-ify" me automatically. No such luck. It was only after an upgrade to RC2 (when is that RTM version showing up on MSDN anyway?) that I was in bliss. Wonder if there is a way to do that without an upgrade? A "Glass Button" that I can press? Maybe in RTM...

In RC or RTM - if You will change Your driver or hardware and You want to enable Areo Glass You have to update Your system score. This can be done in Control Panel -> System.

Tomek-

Thanks! That's good to know! Now maybe you can tell me how I can get ahold of RTM! :)
