jim is so wrong it's laughable. His "vision" of the future is the exact
opposite of how things will play out. So totally cluless...

You do have the small animations when opening / closing windows. Even with
those animations I can switch windows faster than in XP since they simply
respond faster than XP does with no animation at all.
And as to what does it have to do with the issue at hand?
The OP wanted to create a video that crushes the vista UI. Well, this very
window right here I think does the job very nicely.
Justin said:Like I said, some of them are useful.
The instant my finger comes off the ALT key, the wanted window is there.
If you have to wait for an effect for so much as 1 millisecond then you
are waiting longer then XP and Vista.
No, jim (not the OP) wanted to make a video of the exact GUI problems he's
seen in Vista in order to crush Vista.
Stephan Rose said:The only animation you actually have to wait for is the animation when you
click a window on the taskbar that is *minimized*.
However the windows *do* respond significantly faster than they do in XP.
Justin said:That's what people hate. It has nothing to do with moving the mouse, it
has
to do with your eye trying to figure out what it's seeing. This is what
people don't like.
But then again some people love WinFX. Yuck!
I disagree. I don't see how that's possible. Instant is instant. Our
brains/eye's can't tell the difference of anything quicker.
Stephan Rose said:Yes but the win32 GDI is a pig, and that's not even me trying to put

I can usually see the UI redrawing itself when the
window is shown again. Sure, it's not long, particularly not on this core

Alt tabbing between multiple instances of Vistual Studio 2005 is most
definitely not 100% instant under XP. =)
Justin said:Absolutely! Can't argue that. But it still delivers.
I believe you are referring to screen tearing and that is not normal.
It's
a major problem with XP and always has been. So much so that the problem
has been completely wiped out in Vista. You will not have this problem in
Vista using Aero.
If you see this happening "usually" then something is very wrong with your
installation of Windows.
Just to be 100% sure, I did it right now. No problem....??? I did it
over
and over again in rapid succession. I got each window instantly. The
machine I'm on right now is mid grade at best. I'm using an old Matrox
G400 video card.

Justin said:My HDD's don't do that, so where does that leave indexing?
Stephan Rose said:I do wonder though what the constant additional activity does for
long-term
longevity of the drive? It is a mechanical device after all with moving
parts. The more they move the quicker they wear out.
