Ugh. Perhaps it would be pretty at first, but this sort of thing quickly loses its appeal. It's just extra bloat and performance costs, with little or no actual value. And yes, I'm the kind of guy who sets WinXP to use the 'classic' look whenever I'm using an XP machine.

Yup. A 'managed' version of DirectX has been around for a while now, and while I expect it's easier to use from C# than VB.NET, it's certainly possible to use it from the latter. After all, .NET is .NET, whichever language you use.
