new vista-like browser functionality

i'm a beginning ASP.NET developer and a VB.NET developer of almost a year.
i'm really excited about the new thumbnail preiviews and other visual
enhancements to the Vista platform. But as i was watching one of those
videos showcasing how Vista shows little previews of the window when you
hover over the taskbar, and i realized: wouldn't it be awesome to have links
do this on an ASP.NET page? in other words, there's a link on your page, and
when the browser hovers over it, a thumbnail preview of the page it links to
shows up like a tooltip.
granted, this will take a lot of power on both the server and client's part,
but that's what Vista is depending on anyway, right?
well, if anyone has any comments or questions, or other suggestions, feel
free to drop me a line.

Due to an earlier posting I read in this newsgroup regarding Office 2007 beta, I downloaded it. After I DL'd it, I got an invitation from MS to get WinVista.

Hi all, I've been struggling with an issue that I hope you can comment on or provide suggestions to. Our .NET 2.0 (VS2005) based product is crashing (when the user selects a particular feature on the UI) on Vista. It works fine on XP. In a nutshell: - user makes a selection on the UI - System.Reflection.MethodInfo.Invoke() calls into one of our .NET library dlls - Inside the library dll, System.Activator.CreateInstance() is called
