Funny, when I saw Aaron's post, I did some googling and assumed he was
referring to the "Vista Tranformation Pack", which promises to give you
the look and feel of Vista without actually upgrading.

no way I would trust something like this. The recent cyber attack on
Latvia by Russian nationalists was accomplished by many ( millions? )
of infected PCs worldwide being activated in a concerted DOS attack.
Presumably the hackers were paid for their services. Add to that the
money to be made intercepting and spoofing banking transactions on
those many infected PCs and you can see why the hackers benefit from
users staying with XP.

not saying of course that this product is hacker code, but I would not
be surprised to learn that hackers feed code and binaries to these
sorts of community efforts.
