It should be interesting to see how Microsoft responds to this, since Aero
Glass to be honest is 'just a theme' although some can say the experience
itself, the window transparency itself, I want to see how they handle that.

Shouldn't be an issue. Glass2K is just using the transparent layered Window
features that were introduced in Win2K.

I use it or similar tool on Vista Ultimate to create a see-thru transparency
on my Explorer Windows and Various applications.

The thing is, MS touts Aero Glass as one of the reasons and top features of
the Premium Vista SKUs.

Look at the screenshot again, it's nothing like aero glass, it makes the
entire window (including contents) transparent.

Except that it's not Aero. It's Vista Standard, which is enabled by default
in Home Basic *if* you have a WDDM graphics card and 1GB RAM.
