It seems that every time a new version of Windows appears there are lots of utilities produced that give the old versions the new look.

ViStart is a good example that makes the Windows XP Start Menu look just like that of Vista.

The good news is that it is not a purely cosmetic utility. The search feature of the Vista Start Menu is added and works for finding software installed on the computer.

The cosmetics are also very good and the ViStart menu also has the transparent effects of the Vista menu.

If you want to give Windows XP a fresh new look, this a good way to do so.

Note that this product is still in (almost continuous) beta.

Verdict

A well written upgrade for Windows XP
