Get Longhorn 4xxx Style 3D Rotating User Pic in Windows Vista Start Menu

In the old longhorn 4xxx days, the startmenu user picture was more animated as it was today. Today, we get a cheap alpha-fading effect when you hover over an item: the user picture simply blends with the icon for a while.

Back in the days, the user picture was actually rotating when you had the start menu opened. Andreas Verhoeven's "3D User Picture" tries to achieve that effect.
