You like the look of Windows Vista? Yes! You like the icons it has? Yes! You like the sounds it makes? Yes!

Well look no further because I have the solution!

Well it looks like this

and sounds a lot better. As you can see the icons are more jazzed up than XP's!

Please read through what pop ups first though. Some people have experienced problems where I have not. You have been warned!

I have the latest beta build of Vista, just not had the time to install it on my second PC yet to trial it.

I will defo be upgrading one of my PC's to a media centre in the very near future. Vista will have to go on the 2nd one.
