"Windows Vista has finally arrived! Many people have been asking us what are Stardock's plans? What can we do to take an excellent new OS like Windows Vista and make it better? There have been a lot of articles on how users of Windows XP can get a lot of the visual benefits of Windows Vista using Stardock Object Desktop. And while that may be true, Windows Vista provides us a whole new canvas of cool things we can do."

erm....
Most people would realise that this discussion is about Aero Glass vs. Windowblinds.
About 300MB Ram, all of the processing power (not all in the GPU) required to calculate the blurring. The power requirement for keeping the graphics card active (According to Stardock, 40 mins per Dell laptop battery charge). The extra window redrawing that happens behind translucent windows. you do the math.
