   Hey, that screen shot looks a bit like Mac OSX ; )

   Thanks. I don’t know about the Mac, Cary, but it will certainly need a powerful machine to operate it.

   It’s true Anon, I’m not an authoritarian in any sense, though I might be an authority on some things. :-) I see from the link you give that Chris Pratley was able to get Glass working on a 32MB card on a Tablet PC after some adjustments. Excellent. However, how many other users will be able to do that?

   If you read my other posts on this subject, you’ll see that I’ve quoted just about anyone who has a point of view on this. We know that the display work hasn’t yet been finished, so it’s still up in the air, as Scoble says. But beta testers have reported that it will only work on 256MB. That number has been widely accepted, though may still be wrong.

   256mb is an over estimate. Transparencies can run on 64mb cards. The 256mb figure is what will be considered a mid-range graphics card in Q3 2006.

   A lot of this is scare tactics by the same people that told us you need at least 256mb of ram to run XP and that Y2K will make your toaster try and kill you.

   Vista Requirements:
   DX9.0c Compatible Graphics (256mb Graphics Card or higher recommended)

   1024mb (1gb) RAM or higher.

   People are running transparent windows and sidebar software from other vendors on today’s hardware.

   [...] Steve Makofsky put online some new screenshots of Windows Calendar. It is a flexible, easy-to-use calendar built directly into the Windows Vista operating system. We had a screenshot before but these screenshots look very nice and you can tell that they are still tweaking the UI (via Sidebar Geek).
