Give XP the Vista touch
If you like the new graphical interface of Windows Vista, but prefer to continue with the friendliness of your XP, Transform XP to Vista is a good solution to get you going.
It's a simple package containing a desktop with the look of Vista and many of the applications you'll find in Vista Start Menu and Yahoo! Widgets. It's easy to install, you can choose the three main components of the package or any of them, and if you get tired of Transform XP to Vista, you can uninstall it with equal ease. The package also includes Yahoo widgets which is basically a collection of small and useful desktop assistants. This includes anything from a PC temperature gauge to mini games. The Vista Start Menu is modified not only in appearance but also in functionality. You'll find a few new tools on there that aren't in XP and it's basically a lot more accessible although some things, like "Communication Centre" have been renamed.
A cool little package that will save you a packet on Vista's hefty price tag but won't leave you with all the compatibility problems associated with it.

Best Vista Theme Utility I have used.
I think this is an absolutely brilliant effort. Unlike other theme software I have tried it does not install deep changes and can be easily turned on or off - not that I see myself turning it off. It is intuitive and attractive and I give full marks to the developer.
Pros:
Easy to install, small fingerprint, great functionality. More

What a stupid idea!.
Vista has proven to be the largest flop Microsoft has had yet! Why would any sane person actually want to pretend they jumped on the vista bandwagon?XP is fine in it's original format. If you want flashy and stable, switch to a MAC. I can't believe I actually said that because I don't like MAC either, although they do make great TV adverts!
Pros:
You can pretend that you are a loyal Microsoft customer.
Cons:
It will obviously choke your system resources to run as though you are running Vista. More
