All the beauty of Vista on XP
01/02/2007

Love the eye candy of Vista but unwilling to fork out major cash for it? There is software which can give you a taste of the Aero Desktop Experience.

Vista Transformation Pack 6 Final actually sounds a little more impressive than it is. Fortunately, it is free. With this software, you can get the Aero Glass effect as well as the Gadgets toolbar.

Actually, I've been using Stardock's DesktopX (http://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/) software to recreate the "Vista-look" for quite a long time. You have to purchase it, but I ...uh...well, didn't ;)

See attached image for my example desktop (EDIT - excuse the small size, MB only allows for 640x480 attached images).
