I got a CD from a PC magazine yesterday and on there were Vista/Longhorn 'Stuff' that I could use on my Windows XP Machine.
I would just like to say...WOW! It's fantastic and that I can't wait for Vista to come out.

Lol, I can wait until it comes out then 3mths again when all the holes are patched just like XP, Also im not sending off error reports with no pay.

There were a few dowlaods a while back from some sites, I thought the nice clear Icons were good, Oh and Sound Recorder still only records a minutes worth :rotfl:

I do like the side bar and the Icons on the desktop for EAse and quick access etc

I couldn't remember the link to download it from! Thanks for posting it pizzaboy.

And Quincy, No, you can currently play over 1,500 old xbox games on the new Xbox 360.

Without Vista.

Hi Pizzaboy.

When I just installed the pack from crystalXP I was asked about Outlook Express and Internet Explorer (tick boxes) as I didnt want any changes to these two programs, what changes would of taken place if I had ticked them and not unticked them.

Cheers.
