I just got a programme that allows you to make winXP (AND ONLY XP) look like Vista.

Honestly, I prefer my XP to look like XP, because I find the UI much more functional

If you're going to go fudge up your computer, why not get a computer that's already been fudged? Like a Vista?

Amusing.  I've done the exact opposite - my desktop looks like Win95 but its Vista =)

Yes, I have one of those XP to Vista ones - but some of the stuff doesn't work in the user accounts.

Firstly, why would you want to make something look like Vista/Office '07?

Secondly, why in the Hell is that image 600x480?

Yeah.  Emerald + a slightly modified Vista theme.  The original one had the top window border way too big.

It's not positioned right on the task bar and the top of the button is cut off.

Is there any good program to allow full customisation of Win XP's appearance? I mean, like having your own start button, and etc. Kinda like the XP-to-Vista apearance conversion, just that I specify what to change into what, and etc.

not that easily. you'd do well to do it all yourself and there are lots of guides on that
