    Yep, it's been talked about that the whole Itunes look is supposed to get people to switch as MS are using "URGE" to offer an Itunes alternative, and i guess looking like that it is supposed to ease the transition.

    I'm already anticipating the vast onslaught of new problems (he says as he dusts off the keyboard, cracks his knuckles and puts on safety glasses).

    Also note, that screenshot is of the version that's in Vista. The XP version won't have the transparency effects.

    Transparency has been around for years... witness Trillian chat windows. Why did it take Vista to get it to catch on?
