In the Millenium beta's there was alpha blending, menu fading, the cursor was like 2000's etc. When they released it proper there was none of the stuff that makes W2K look good. Some how I don't believe it got left out, more likely disabled. Does anyone know how to turn it back on in Millenium?

I did a little research and discovered that it is actually cheaper for you guys to buy pre-built PC's. I'm in Australia and for me I save a couple of hundred bucks building mine myself (mind you that's about 5 US cents at the moment). So I can see why you would buy a Dell. Out here there is just no way you would bother if you were half sensible. I still can't get over how cheap RAM is in the States. It's almost twice the price here, conversion and all.

How the hell did you get your celeron that high?

My apologies. I really just hate computer companies like Dell, Compaq and HP that put together systems that look good but when you pull them apart you see what kind of low quality components they use. Albeit Dell isn't quite as bad. I too build, repair and consult in computer systems and components. You just sounded like you didn't. Again my apologies. When I have time(turning 21 on the weekend) I'll endeavour to muck around with Windowblinds to see how bad a system hit I get with the fading. I still think you are crazy if you don't build your own systems. I suppose it helps when you work for a wholesaler but still, at least I know exactly what goes into my systems. I love healthy debate.

What about my system? PIII-800 @ 900 mHz, 256 MB Ram, Geforce2-Ultra, 20gig IBM ATA-100, ASUS CUSL2 Motherboard, SBLive!, 10/100 Network. Have Cambridge Dolby Digital Receiver with 5 speakers and subby. And I actually made mine myself. Is mine bigger than yours?

Windowblinds? Where do I get that from? I still don't believe it's not there. I've seen alpha blending done on ME. Thanx anyway.
