I just installed this "Vista Transformation Pack" onto my XP Pro machine, and I must say, I'm quite impressed. If you like the new Vista/Aero GUI, but dont like the new Vista OS then check this out.

why not just get vista. it is far superior and it isnt limited to the visual advances.
btw why do they refer to it as looking like vista ultimate. does it have dreamscene? ultimate doesnt really have any visual advantages over premium

Nick, sometimes people want the look without the go fast behind it. This is why people sell bodykits and crap for cars, because its not always how fast you go....but if you can do it in style

Hmmm, I agree with Nick ![Big Grin](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Buy Vista and slap SP1 on it.
With that said I am waiting on a new PC bfore I get Vista at home. My PC is 12-18 months away from being replaced, no sense in spending the $$ on it, will just get a OEM copy with my new PC. That PC will last 4 years, then a new OS will be out again.....

dont know about jumping at sp1 just yet, but now that i have been using vista for about 1/2 a year whenever i use a computer with xp i just feel so limited in what i can do. its weird. dont get me wrong i loved xp and would rather switch back to xp that then ever touch a mac. windows xp was great, but vista just offers so much more.
i guess money would be the best reason not to switch to vista. but people who use a labtop at bestbuy with vista for 10 minutes shouldnt be trashing vista. first off those computers are ****ed before they even come out of the package because of all the bull**** the manufacters throw in them. im not saying u are one of the anti-vista people, im just bitching out loud about the situation in general.
that is a cool ad-on to xp. enjoy.

I may be looking into that if I switch back to xp. I like the look and overall I like vista but there are some serious issues with vista and nvidia's drivers right now for some users (myself included). Just google "nvlddmkm" and you'll see what I mean. Sadly SP1 seems to have made it even worse although I will hold off final judgement on that till I get the chance to completely remove the drivers and do a fresh install of them. I'm sick of my screens going blank for 2 seconds then seeing that message when I'm gaming...
