It does not happen every day that news related to computer technology - news we report on every day - makes its way to the headline news programs and newspapers here in my home country, The Netherlands. So when it does, I am usually on the edge of my seat, simply because it offers an interesting glimpse into how 'normal' people perceive our little world. The last few days, however, that casual interest has made way for something else - tooth gnashing irritation.

"(...)Vista automatically says that Aero is not compatible with this software, switching to classic mode. It does that to most programs that I tried on it."
Which ones would those be?
From my experience, it only switches off Aero when a program wants to display something using the overlay surface, which is not supported by the hardware accelerated desktop. Personally, I only get that when using DScaler to play my PS2 games. All other software, be it OpenGL based (like Softimage XSI) or video players that support video mixing rendered run absolutely fine.
