Indeed, apparently if the WGA check fails Aero is disabled. -- Paul Smith, Yeovil, UK.

| | Re: WGA and Aero Glass Colin, I believe what they mean by this is that if you are running a non-Genuine copy of Microsoft Windows that Windows Aero will be turned off and the system will revert to the Windows Vista Basic interface. -- Kristan Kenney Windows Live Butterfly News and Experiences on Windows Vista and beyond: http://www.windows-now.com This post is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

| | Re: WGA and Aero Glass I know what it means OK, I just think it is interesting that WGA drives Aero. No validation, no Glass. Cute, eh?

| | Re: WGA and Aero Glass I know, I thought that was interesting too. Kinda like, kids, you're grounded from color TV. Black and white is fine, but no color till you get your grades up.

| | Re: WGA and Aero Glass Am I missing something here? I thought if one didn't activate/register/whatever within the allotted time, that Vista would not allow access to the OS... is that wrong? If not, what difference does Aero make in that equation? Not being disagreeable... just wondering...
