I'm a WindowBlinds 1.0 veteran and have followed the product through all it's growth. My Tablet PC only has the Intel 915 GM/GMS graphics chipset, so I don't get Aero on my Vista.
I recently came across "True Transparency" which does support providing Aero on only Vista Basic capable systems: http://www.crystalxp.net/galerie/en.id.5139-truetransparency-lefreut-explorer-tools.htm
I'm surprise somebody beat Stardock to the punch. Is it possible we will see this in a future WindowBlinds?
