I think it's XP actually, as the recycle bin icon and documents icons are relatively new. Could be wrong though.

I'll shut up now
It has a shadow but as it's supposed to be an overcast day you can't see it that well because it is a soft shadow.The next time you are outside on an overcast day check your shadow..you'll not see it as much as if the sun was fully out.

I'll show you the non textured version so you can be certain.

I need to add that the IBL lighting is very difficult to synchronise in Bryce.It's dealt with much better in Carrara Pro 6 and Poser 7.However I wanted to have a go at just modelling and texturing in Bryce and just for once getting the overcast lighting.

Do you have more than 1 light source? I 'think' I can see about 3-4 at least?

You are such a knit picker aren't you.

So how about letting us see some of your work?

No not a nitpicker at all, just trying to help you get the best out of what you do. I do use Poser (mostly) and Bryce (not so much), and lighting is the key mostly.

I did say your pic was good, it's a great set up and a good render but would you rather hear constructive info (not really a critisism either) rather than putting me down?

I can send you some of my work if you want and you're more than welcome to help in places that I'm no good at too. I ain't saying I'm an expert, far from it, but I do dabble and spend quite a bit of time learning.

Well I'd like to see your work and I'm sure the rest of the members here would like to see it too.
