Some people are waiting for the time to buy a new PC, some are not upgrading because their hardware isn’t up to it, and some well…..just don’t want to. Well there’s nothing wrong with wanting to stick with XP for a while, but maybe you would like to change the “look” of XP to more of a Vista “style”.
The interest in making Windows XP look like Vista has been going on for a while, but I get asked to this day what are the best ways to change the desktop to look more like Vista. Some want just the visual style changed, and some want the entire look and feel of their desktop changed to reflect Vista…….

Rich, it looks great. I’m just wondering if this works for XP SP3. It lists that it’s compatible with SP1 and SP2.

Angie – I’m not sure. I’d say you’re in the clear, but I’ve only tested it with SP2

Thanks, Rich. I found a forum on the site and there are a couple of patches to install if it doesn’t work right for SP3. So, I may try it!

I think most are just wary of compatibility issues and the price of upgrading. Of course the hardware issue is a big one too..

Yes – most “make your computer look kewl” software will slow down your compy – which is why I generally steer clear of them. Its a pity too because some are really quite cool.
