VAIO stands for Vista API Implementation on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003

So what can you basically do with it ?

You can run Windows Vista - based applications on the above mentioned operating systems. (for instance, Windows Paint, Windows Sidebar etc.)

After checking in some last minute code changes, to support the Windows Sidebar from Vista RTM builds, we compiled a preview release for all to play with. A document has been generated to help assist users in understanding and using VAIO so make sure you read it.

Resources:
Documentation (rev. 1)
Preview Build 1 (for Windows XP)
Preview Build 1 (for Windows Server 2003)
Links:
AeroXP Forum Thread
Bug tracker (slow)

Source: From Vista to XP[/color]


Mirror attched (for XP) as well as a screenshot, all I can say is I can't wait to use it! Clear Screenshots uploaded!

From here to the Dark Continent were rebels sell diamonds
To clients all over the world, got little Black girls dyin'
And can we please pour some more liquors?

So this actually programs for Vista that will work on XP? If that is it, that is really cool. Kudos to all the people involved in this.

It has to be an RC2 sidebar, which is what I need, and I can't get the cmd command to work. If you havn't done, scroll down to the bottom of the PDF and follow them as well.

How about writing a small tutorial about how you did it as I've seen a lot of people that didn't have success ?
