Okz, i've seen those videos on Channel9 about Vista, and i have a few questions.
The previews in the taskbar on mouseover, or/and the previews in the alt+tab - will they increase your memory usage as it would having two of the same thing running
(like say if im running notepad, put my mouse over notepad in the taskbar, and i see a mini version of the currently opened notepad, will this use as much resources as 2 notepads running )
The other is about XAML, and WPF.
It seems really cool, how Vista looks, except will this be easily added to our applications in Visual Studio 2005
I watched the Internet Hearts video and it didnt talk that much about actually developing applications with WPF.
So i would like to know, wether Visual Studio will enable WPF automaticly like it does visual styles (eg. application.enablevisualstyles) or do we need to code WPF in ourselves

the previews don't create another instance of the application, just another instance of its output. so there is some additional memory cost associated with the extra image, but not nearly as much as the entire application would take up.
WPF is an entire platform - includes new classes, new object instantiation language, new tools, etc. You will be able to use VS to create applications in WPF.
