Vista minimum system requirements too high for you? Dont worry, the Vista transformation pack will give your Windows XP a similar user interface to that of Vista. However, this will utilize 10-15MB more RAM from your system (for new UI components) and one must remember that it is not the real OS core. But the UI is almost the same as Vista. Even the tranparency effects are there. Popular components such as the Sidebar, New start menu and boot screen are all here!
