Problem with Shortcut dialog isn't Vista-style
This still uses the old style all gray dialog box.
Update the dialog box.

You're completely wrong see the "Official Windows UX Guidelines' on the site before voting an idea, you say is vista style because of the glass that is applied by default.. ¬¬ and ok the buttons use vista style but just this, there are a lot of things missing, to name a few:
-> Wrong font
-> White background (¿?)
-> Main instructions bigger and blue
-> Separation between buttons and the rest of dialog
Bearluke will you knock it off. You say the ideas are pointless, well create your own but we all are getting suck and god damn tired of you criticizing people and their ideas.
@bearluke:
SERIOUSLY, GO AWAY!
@ everyone
I aplogize for my language above but he's really starting to piss everyone off. He has no busnius being here if he keeps critziting people and their ideas.

1) the article you posted doesn't say anything about the background colour.
2) the article you posted shows a nice window with a gray background colour: http://i.msdn.microsoft.com/Bb545457.DialogsDC07(en-us,MSDN.10).png
Hey, I don't know if there are supposed to be two types of dialog boxes (the blue instruction text with white background or old style grey background) but I've noticed a lot of inconsistency in Vista and I'm not sure what's supposed to be what. I just noticed this trying to recreate another problem.
This dialog IS supposed to have "new style", contrary to what bearluke thinks. Thank God he's not part of the Windows team.
lol bearluke still uses windows 3.1
Although it is somehow according to some of the styles in the article of MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb545457.aspx) as bearluke pointed out, it WOULD be nicer if it uses the "new style" instead (the style with plain question in blue, and self-describable buttons like "Delete" and "Leave")
If using a new style, use it everywhere! (I think)

this dialog already has the vista style (It has the glass, it has buttons with blue borders).
"New style" doesn't mean all windows should have a white background!
