From Microsoft-Watch: "While Microsoft has been touting the Aero Glass interface as one of the main selling points for Windows Vista, there will be another new interface one for users running Vista on less-powerful systems too. Microsoft hasn't said much about its final plans for that interface until now. Microsoft has posted some screen shots of the non-Glass theme for Vista, which officials are currently calling the Standard or Basic theme. Vista experts have plenty to say about the Basic theme."

What? The screen shot in question here (the basic theme) does not have transparency, dropshadows, or bluring. As a matter of fact that is the entire point of the basic theme. Your opinion may or may not be valid for the Aero theme, but from your complaint it sounds like the basic theme is everything you want...

Sure its relatively easy on the eyes, and shows some consistancy and polish
Relative is certainly the keyword there isn't it? I personally dislike the bluring of objects. The transparency and dropshadows look to be more of an eyesore than anything. I keep trying to bring the blurry bars into focus.
