What should I use to turn my XP into VISTA?

Is there any way to change my GUI (graphic user interfacce) to appear to look like windows vistas? I dont want to install the beta version because of all the glitches and bugs, plus I use my computer to video edit and photoshop and would not like my computer to crash when I am doing those tasks. Thnx

Only one post is really necessary.

The best way to accomplish this is to purchase Windowblinds. You may also try it out on a limited basis first also.

WB is a great investment even when you are "tired" of the Vista look.

Then you can go to this site and search for Vista, or browse for many other variations.

First of all, use Vista 2.2 by Jemaho for WindowBlinds.

If you want the Sidebar, or at least something VERY close to it, then I reccommend A Vista Sidebar.

For the Live Taskbar Thumbnails, use Visual ToolTips.

Also, use the default settings for WindowFX from StarDock.

For the cursor, I use Aero Cursor.

Icons are simple, also. I reccommend Vista Beta 2 5472 Theme for IconTweaker. If you don't have IconTweaker, it is free for download.
