Eye candy often sells. It is what will draw a potential user in the first time. If our Fox apps don't look like other Vista apps, people will say they look old and outdated and many times look elsewhere (ie at the apps that have the eye candy).

Once the user is drawn in with eye candy, then we need to sell them on features.

Glass can be turned on or off by the user. If the user wants it, we should support it.

And I wonder why people are working hard to make VFP have that sexy glassy look if it's just eye-candy? I do understand that the stuff is technically sexy, but does that justify imposing possible hardship on our users just because ***we*** like to do that stuff?
