This week, Microsoft is handing out Vista build 5219 at its Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles. PC Magazine was able to get their hands on it, trying out a number of new features and observing some slick-looking interface enhancements, such as true 3D windows views (with properly skewed video), thumbnail views for desktop apps, and a semi-transparent Taskbar. Take the guided tour to witness some of these new features in build 5219.

Yeah, I looked at it...to be fair, it's a KDE app but not part of the basic KDE configuration. I had to compile it to try it out (no RPMs for Mandrake). Worked well, though there was a snag with video apps (had to add them to the exception list). Other than that it's pretty good, though there's a bit of work to be done yet before it's officially part of KDE!
Still, it's the proof that it can easily be done (and has been) for KDE by a single programmer...
Yes, for those who wonder, it's the first thing I did after posting my original comment!

Is it? Which version? 3.5? That sounds cool.
