dont exactly know what you mean but it just changes the way xp looks to make it like vista ultimate, but more stable.

Tested it on a virtual machine and it's pretty cool. Has some bugs with domain installations though, I noticed after installing it on main PC. Had to essentially disable most of the additional tools like flip3d, glass aero, and the orb bits.

You are completely missing the point of Vista.  Vista isn't about the interface - and that is a half cocked attempt at it anyway - all the best bits missing.  Vista is about a more robust, up to date, more secire OS!

Too right. That's the bit you turn off straight away because it's a gimmick.  ;) Now, where's my command line console gone?
