For those of you who have been thinking of moving to Vista But dont want to let their machines be owned by MS, a tongue in cheek fun upgrade is available, giving you the look of Vista without the bugs or DRM.
http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=162I've had a number of people ask me what I think of the transformation packs that allow you to make Windows XP look like Windows Vista. I had to be honest and say that I'd never tried to do this because I've been running Windows Vista betas for months. Anyway, the other day I was creating some operating system new images in VMware and Virtual PC and I decided to give it a go.
So I downloaded the 12.5MB Vista Transformation Pack 5.5 (by Windows X) which changes many of the system icons, skins and toolbars and also adds new enhancements such as a dock bar and a new system tray clock. The Vista Transformation Pack is also 100% free.
I cant say I was taken with the pics shown but I,m sure thats a limit of not having a better graphics card rather than limitations in the program.
