"especially Vista, which introduces the translucent windows thing that Microsoft has kept moving forward."

Alpha Blending was present since Windows 2000. You had to enable it but it was there.

Translucent Windows were a thing in Windows 2000. You enabled Alpha Blending in GUI. It was also present in Windows ME.
