Long,
The only reason the start/task bars are lighter in the new version is because the background is white – just for the sake of a cleaner screenshot. In the old version, there was a dark background photograph, hence the glass looked darker.

You also get a similar effect if you turn off transparency altogether.

Yes, I not said above (I flew/quick read) the Start Menu also has an manual search in it (I think) or a refresh icon… Or something… Well as Julian said, I agree! I don’t like blogs too!

I believe Microsoft is holding up all the stuff for the official public launch next year, that’s when I think they will update the site, screenshots etc.

I agree with rajo, MSDN/Connect/”Corporate” users, the ones who have access to Vista, aren’t going to be looking at those sites anyway

Apart from updating it in January, the only other time before then that they might is November 30, as CompUSA prepares to sell Vista.
