Turn Windows XP into Vista FREE
So I had a thought... why waste so much money on something that doesn't offer me more functionality than my current OS? After searching google for a bit, I discovered "Vista Transformation Pack 6.0" which is simply awesome. You might want to check it out for your self! I don't know what the URL is, though.

I'm already having loads of fun with my 'new Vista' OS.

I believe I used that back in '05. I removed it because it messed up some things by replacing original Microsoft DLL and hogged resources.

Keep it there for two more weeks and you'll need to format for sure...
Hope you have an extra drive or at least two partitions to keep your files safe

How could it 'destroy the registry'?

And yes, I have backed up all of my data on my external drive.
If anything bad happens, a reformat wouldn't be bad - would solve a few glitches I've encountered (pre-installation of the Vista pack)

Just use the uxtheme.dll hack for windows xp and download some vista visual syles from deviantart. Thats the cleanest way I know of to theme your system, no 3rd party software or other registry hacks. =)

WindowFX
The Vista pack (longhorn) isn't that new and uses quite some resources.
Why not try WindowFX and you'll have the transparant vista windows, tiles and lots of effects. You'll need a reasonable good video card though:D . And no 1024 MB main memory and 128 MB video memory, which Vista acquires at minimum.
