thanks for that Andrew.. interesting about the fading in boxes... I guess it
would have to use the servers background as the term server couldn't possibly
know what the client had at that space. although I guess it would be possible
for a cleverererer ICA client to implement some of the xp pretties... and I
suspect its going to get alot more complex with Longhorn.

The CPU overhead I would guess to be minimal

Not sure on the transparenty bits.. Outlooks message alerts dont look
too good when they fade in on seamless, they look like theyre using
the servers background rather than the clients.

I would have thought that it would require more memory on the server,
but only a teeny bit more bandwidth..?
