Actually that’s a wee bit misleading but if you like the appearance of Vista, but don’t want to go to the fuss, bother and expense of installing the new operating system on your PC then have a look at BricoPack Vista Inspirat Ultimate 2. This collection of graphical tweaks makes your 32-bit Windows XP PC look like it is running Vista. It’s basically a set of themes, icons and sounds that closely mimic those in Vista and it includes some interesting extras, such as a Mac-like Docking bar . It definitely works best on faster PCs, 2GHz and above, slower machines might find it a bit hard going, it can have an impact on performance, and it only works on 32-bit versions of XP. Be sure to read the Installation advice, especially the bit about what to do if it doesn’t work and you need to uninstall it.
