    To save everyone clicking on the link above it's basically a transformation pack you can download for Windows XP that makes it look like Vista (themes, skins etc).

    Just turn your PC off at random intervals to get the real Vista feel. :rotfl:

    There's a lot of similar stuff to be found here, not to mention another place to download that same pack from. There's a screenshot too!

    Longhorn was kinda scrapped - the development if the system was taking to long, so they canned loads of the proposed parts of longhorn and then created Vista!

    This is awful, computer about stops running, really slows down on a 2.8ghz P4 with 1gb of ram.

    My advice, leave alone!

    All your critising windows, I bet 99% of you are using windows, and im pretty certain none of you could do any better. Microsoft suck, yeah, but its about the best we got.
