vistaOne of the biggest innovation in Windows Vista is its nice glassy theme also known as Vista Aero Theme. This theme adds fresh air to our Windows letting us work, thanks to its performing features, in a more productive way. The other side of the story is that this nice candy theme consumes a lot of resources from our computer making it, in more than one case, quite sluggish.  Of course you can disable it through the normal Vista settings, but this procedure is a bit annoying and time consuming, above all if have to turn Aero theme on and off many times a day.
