RE: Vista Transparency
If your graphics card doesn't support pixel shading and directx 9.0c, the aero glass theme and transparent windows wont be avaible.

REMEMBER THAT YOU ALSO NEED AT LEAST BUILD #5112 FOR TRANSPARENT TITLEBARS (AERO GLASS).

However, if you know you are using Beta 1 (Build #5112) you can attempt to force your computer to use the Aero Glass theme using TweakVista. (DWM Tab > Enable even on unsupported cards)

ATi and NVidia have already put out Vista drivers that (supposedly) enables transparency and what not. :)
