An LG 24" 10000:1 contrast ratio LCD monitor running at 1920 x 1200 resolution and Logitech keyboard, mouse and Z4 speaker system tops it all off. Oh, and dual 500GB hard drives too! My OS is Windows 7 RC Ultimate and I am running ...

Does anyone know how to turn off the stupid titlebar text and the titlebar icons glow other than excluding the apps in WB? That is the dumbest thing I have ever seen.
