Vista Basic and Standard - My Frustration

I can understand that Microsoft only gives the ugly interface to Vista Home Basic edition users. But, it seems unfair that Microsoft also gives that same ugly interface to those who use other Vista editions but without the graphic requirement to run Aero. There's Vista Standard interface for those who can run Aero but disable the transparency effect (but this Vista Standard UI is rendered by hardware).


I think Microsoft can give something similar to Vista Standard UI (rendered by software) to those who use non-Home-Basic editions but cannot run Aero. I can see that Microsoft shows the Vista Standard UI-like interface during the Windows installation on my computer, but I can only see the ugly interface after the installation. I use Vista Business edition and the only "defect" is my Intel GMA 900 which cannot run Aero.


If Microsoft can show Vista Standard UI during installation on my computer, why can't they show it instead of the ugly interface?

Until then...
