    Im not quite ready for risking Vista just yet, but this pack sounds ideal, does it slow the system down any?

    Just a bit but I will say the mouse pointer is a better indicator to whats happening as it still animates when CPU is being used unlike XP no mouse animation and you kinda think the PC has settled when it hasnt.:rolleyes:

    Nope as its an integrated part of the pack, and it isnt on the msconfig list either, mind you if its sat behind other windows I really cant see that its much of a issue now :cool:
    Is it an issue of it not having anything useful on it, because there may be things you could download for it? Or do you just not like it there? I imagine I'd find it annoying actually because that's where my messenger window sits :o

    are there any other flaws I need worry about before I install it, other than as you seem to be mentioning, the Vista sidebar. I'm imagining it to be like a zapped up version of themesxp
