IF YOU are wondering if it is worth it upgrading your XP machine to Vista later in the year you might want to have a look at some free software to give you a clue.
The Vista Transformation Pack 4.0 has been just released which shows the transparent effects that Vista will have.
True, there was a similar lump of software called Window's Blinds which hit the shops last year which claimed to do the same thing, but it wasn't free.
The Windows Transformation Pack also has a fairly effective uninstall program which is pretty important as the program has to fiddle with your system files.
Other than the "look and feel" of Vista the software does not give you much more, which is good because otherwise you would have to shell out a King's ransom for the hardware upgrades require. This does require a graphics card, but not the super-dooper thing that Vista needs.
Some of those who have downloaded it claim their systems have slowed down a bit.
