Default Vista's Flip Effect on XP

Download. Nao. It works like a charm. Not to mention it looks pretty sick. The program is called TopDesk. It replicates Vista's 3D window flipping. Here's a screen for you guys.

Very nice! Are there any other vista features like this for XP?

BTW, does this install it on all users accounts on the PC?

I found a nice Gamespot article on transforming your XP to vista. Go here http://uk.gamespot.com/features/6151937/index.html to see it.

What is this used for? When does it come into use? Is it a screen saver that displays what boxes you got open like that? Or has it some actual use?

It changes the ALT+TAB box into the Windows Vista 3D flippy thing.

Flip 3D is pretty useless outside of showing off to your coworkers/friends.

*************neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=52981 6

^ Another equally useless yet pretty ALTAB replacement.

In fact, I found it not just pointless, but made it a lot harder to use my PC.

I never use ALT+TAB, so yeah, this is kind of pointless. But cool to look at, non-the-less.

I always use ALT + TAB, and I've found all this does is make it a much longer, albeit prettier, process.

XGL and Compiz on Linux does pretty much the same thing for ALT+TAB
