What happens when Vista’s DWM sulks.

As some of you from Twitter may know, I tried to disable Windows Vista’s Desktop Window Manager for a few days to get used to the feel, and UI I am presented with on XP Pro, at work. I personally hate it, but it does its job, everything works seamlessly, and performance is through the roof! I have to say, if it weren’t for the eye-sore, OS X would be in trouble (cue Snow Leopard, designed to stop W7 wiping the floor with them). I’m drifting.
By this point it’s worth noting that I do not have any Internet Explorer window open, it’ll either be After Effects or iTunes (Safari, as usual, doing its own thing). I just know there’ll be a comment claiming it’s a fake on the grounds that it’s an internet-related error. It is genuinely caused by shutting down DWM with way too much open. Otherwise, apologies for the irrelevance of this post.
