People love the idea of having the latest technology, so when there's a major release of an operating system, we rush out, buy and install. Unfortunately, this is when many people first realise much of their older software won't install or run. Apart from a few visual improvements, it's not always necessary to upgrade to the latest OS. Another option could be to visually enhance your current operating system and bring it in line with the latest revision, especially as there are plenty of customisation tools that will enable you to get more from your current OS.

VistaMizer 3.2 is a customisation tool that provides users with a number of functions designed to enhance the feel of Windows XP, and replicate the look of Vista. A useful tool for users that like the functionality of XP, but prefer the cleaner look of Vista.
