Convert Windows XP into Windows Vista
Vista Transformation Pack is a popular app that allows you to make superficial changes to XP that give it the Vista look.
For many people, the only reason worth upgrading to Vista is for the look, since the functionality and basic framework don't really differ that much from XP. If you think the same way, then you'll be more than happy with Vista Transformation Pack.
Once installed, Vista Transformation Pack makes your start-up screen, cursors, sounds, screen-savers, toolbars, clock, etc. look like the ones seen in Vista. The transparent effect is hard to emulate, but by combining with Windows Blinds, Vista Transformation Pack does a surprisingly impressive job. Be warned however that some users have complained Vista Transformation Pack changes driver DLLs in XP which make it difficult to remove, or at least, it leaves problems behind when you do so.
To be fair to them, the Vista Transformation Pack developers advise you to view their user discussion board before installing Vista Transformation Pack to find out about any potential problems as they readily admit that they are not aware of all the bugs it may cause.
Note that if you're simply updating Vista Transformation Pack, there's no need to uninstall the original - just install the patch. The developers have also added a user selection feature whereby if you log onto your PC as a different user, you can select whether you want to transform your XP desktop to Vista.
Vista Transformation Pack is probably one of the best transformation packs out there although be warned that it's likely to cause conflicts with programs from time to time.

A good advice!.
A thing that everyone should know is that the "Vista Transformation Pack" is free but this doesn't mean that it would work perfectly. And the original version would be better than the "Vista Trans.. Pack" because it will never damage our files and system as many users complain about! So better wait for an original version than for a complete system damage!!!! Hope everyone takes this information in consideration before its too late!!!!
Pros:
Changes the design
Allows some users to experiment the feeling of using Windows Vista (Partially & for free)
Cons:
Could damage computer
Original version better
Original version has all vista options (logic) More

Well I am impressed.
Well I am impressed. It takes forever to download but looks awsome! Sometimes it slows my computer down but most of the it works perfectly. I love the sound scheme, the appearence, and the sidebar! The first time I tried to install it it did not work though. And some of the features don't work. I don't care it still looks great. I think STP is better though. Vistamizer is better than all of them. VTP has more stuff though. I would go with VTP. So make your choice. I chose this and vistamizer.
Pros:
Great look,
Good sound scheme, Cons:
Slow install
