Windows useing HardwareAccell from graphic cards

[Shane]

Just curious if ne1 knows or heard of when our 2d desktops are going to use hardware 3d acceleration for the menus, icons etc. Heck maybe there is a program out there to do it allready for windows ? Anyways, any info is appreciated.

All modern cards have 2D acceleration.

If your refering to 3D acceleration usage, that feature is included in Longhorn, slated for 2005-2006 release.
