Thanks Pete,
Here's a question for starters... I received an email asking about it yesterday and I'm curious myself.
Photo Story 3 installed OK on my Vista system but when I tried to open it, the error message said it wouldn't run on the operating system.... I went to its properties and put it into compatibility mode, and it works fine. Will Photo Story 3 go through a revision as Movie Maker is, and be part of the Vista environment?
I'm wondering about the planned or probable future of Photo Story 3 so I can best advise others.... -- PapaJohn

I suspect there will be a new version under the Plus! Brand around RTM or little bit after Vista is released. -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta FAQ for MS AntiSpy http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm

Yeah, users have complained about this, I hope to see major improvements in those areas, I think to add true value, they should at least have 30 themes. Vista should also include some new Visual Theming capabilities for changing the colour the Aero Theme and I heard in a recent interview, almost all of the old screen savers will be removed and replaced with new ones, plus lots of wall papers.
Vista also includes some updated versions of popular games and two new ones Chess Titans and Purble Place. So lots entertain value out of the box. -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta FAQ for MS AntiSpy http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm

Great! Yeah, 30 themes would be comparable to Plus! 98. Nice the screensavers are finally replaced, and I hope wallpapers will comes in different aspect ratios so they'll look good in either widescreen or 10 x 8 and also please add portrait wallpapers for our loyal Tablet PC users, I'm still a bit bewildered by how wallpapers are distorted everytime you press the rotation button lol.
I think theming should go a bit more than just coloring, because I think that's covered in the Control Panel. Maybe allowing skinning (without bloating or severly affecting UI proportions), would be nice. : )
