The new Aero Glass interface in Vista is certainly impressive though you’ll need a high end graphics card in order to get the full impact. Subscriber Chris Price recently wrote in to tell me about the Vista Transformation Pack, "… an integrated set of utilities that will modify Windows XP to look and feel very much like Windows Vista" without the need for fancy hardware. According to the vendor "the pack changes most of the system icons, skins and toolbars and also adds new enhancements to your desktop such as a dock bar or a different system tray clock." Now I’m not normally into the whole themes and appearance thing but must admit I was quietly impressed by the Vista Transformation Pack. It’s got quite a few minor bugs but many users will tolerate these for the invigorating effect on their desktop. As ever, backup your system before installing. Freeware, Windows XP, 12.1MB
