Hi Desktop Expereince will give you Aero but you will not get all the themes, maybe with later builds but don't think so. Brjann

For some graphics cards the full 3D-drivers are not installed and you might need to install the Vista driver for the same card to get the full Aero interface.

There is no Aero in Windows Longhorn Server!! I installed Windows Longhorn Server on my computer, enabled Themes service, installed Desktop Experience component, and restarted. This machine could have Aero enabled when I was using Windows Vista RC1. The score for this machine was 2.0

(I'm only 14 too) Please enable the Themes service to get the Windows Vista Basic theme.

This means that something that worked in an earlier release might not work in current release.

I use windows server because it ISN'T sopretty and ISN'T overloaded with visual distractions.
