Yes! There are lots of Vista Transformation packs available on net but I never use them because they slow down the windows and also install a few 3rd party utilities. So its better to do all the things manually.

I to recommend not to use Vista Transformation packs, better way is to go crystalxp.net, there are many small utilities provides a lots of vista like interface.:)

Yeah, all those utilities are really useful, and they LOOK like vista, too. A friend of mine saw me working on the comp, and he never believed it was XP till I showed him the system properties.

~Use CrystalXP's Vista Transformation Pack.
~For Aero effect, try TrueTransparency n Transbar.
~For transparent menus and shadows, use Y'z Shadow.
~For icons, download Vista icons from Deviantart (search) and apply using IconPackager or IconTweaker.
~Use QT-Breadcrumbs bar instead of the normal address bar.
~Use VistaCG theme from CrystalXP.
~For integrated search in the address bar, use QT-TabBar
