The Sidebar ah some bling that works we will find out.
Its nice how it grows opaque on mouseover , however *feature* their is no way to set how opaque it is, and the gradient idea is bad, better to have the transparency the whole way across better bling that way.
Their is a *bug* when hiding the Sidebar regardless of side it minimizes to the system tray, not a good idea for left hand side. *feature* why not autohide like the taskbar. Their is another *bug* it forgets its switched on. Try loging off and back on again, oups.

However this is a one-way post. You/I would never know if Microsoft found the information, useful or unuseful, desired or loathed.
As you can see Iam interested in furthering the development of Vista, through constructive criticism/praise. I have done testing before for an ISP, and have/do work/worked with versions of windows back as far as ver 3. I also write code/programs so can provide detailed information.
Can you suggest a more relevant forum to post in I am serious and I am interested in getting some feedback on my feedback.
By the way the newsgroup link did not work, all I got was 404.

I would recommend the Vista newsgroups first.
As a beta tester you should be aware of the MS beta client.
