Windows Vista won't even attempt to run on a PC with 256MB ram......it requires min 512MB in which it crawls not runs..! :p .....

Vista Transformation Pack uses the XP bitamp engine.....so u won't get...the 3D effect.....

Also.....in vista also if u don't have a graphics card ...u won't get the 3D effects....

You can NEVER get the full vista look/experience with:
>512 mb ram [more the merrier]
>direct x 9 capable graphic card
>powerful CPU
>THE VISTA DVD obviously

no service pack can actually fully emulate vista's look and feel on XP due to the difference in vector graphics used by vista and raster graphics used by xp; the same difference between flash and paint.
