Is VISTA worth it/VISTA theme?

Well, should i upgrade? And does anyone know where i can get a theme that'll make XP look like VISTA? I have the cursors off a friend, and an explorer thats transparent (😱) but it only works in one window. Can anyone help me?

First of all there are 4 different types of Windows Vistas. Second of all you need to meet the minimum requirements of each Vista to be able to run that OS on your PC. At the moment I would say not everyone is capable of using VISTA because their computer are not strong enough to run it in terms of hardware. This is why it takes a new OS a few years to kick in and be a more common OS.

I made my own computer. Unlimited speed, firewalls etc. Cheaper and so, so fast. Vista is a joke. No wonder its not ready yet

No vista is not worth it for most people. XP will work just fine for everything you will need to do.

But for the computer nerd and experimentalist Vista is way worth it tons of cool shit you can do with it, but all the nerds already know that because they are nerds.

*Reports* gurs

it looks pretty great, but I don't care about how my OS looks. I put it all in black and metallic anywayz. The prereqs are far too high to run it decent if I don't invest heavily. Over here it costs way too much! so why would I pay so much money for an OS that has tons of bugs in it, requires a shitload of hardware and doesn't even do that much!

Yeah....wont be changing anytime soon...could run it, but dont see the point...'woohoo multiple tabbed windows'....

@Life - Yeah, you can get a bunch of XP mods, I've got a few skins/log on screens and crap, search around. Had one that allowed that stupid tabbed window thing, but its teh gay after a while.

So basically you want VISTA because it looks good and not because of what it can do? Typical average computer user.

Does Vista eat up the battery life on your laptop in contrast to XP?

There are some installers that will make iXP look completely like Vista, but all the versions that I have run into are bugged straight to hell. Two glaring problems that I can recall on the top of my head are as follows: -USB 2.0 will read like the 1.0 version so USB drives will run slower.
-Some lazy sods who have forgotten to register their key in the Service Pack 2 edition and install the Vista theme ends up being taken to the force registration window, weeks before they have to.
