Developer Stardock has released WindowBlinds 6 today. It is a utility that allows users to customize the look and feel of Windows by applying "skins" to change the user interface of the OS. WindowBlinds 6 can make Windows XP look virtually identical to Windows Vista (including blurred glass). Thanks to hardware acceleration, a typical XP system dressed to look like Vista will perform faster than Vista still. WindowBlinds 6 also adds full skinning support to Windows Vista, making it the first and only program to support full Windows Vista customization. CNet takes a quick look at this new release.

Well, I quite prefer the appearance of Vista over XP (particularly the window buttons), although I dial the transparency on the window bars right back and make the dark grey, as I find the defaults annoying. I think the UI is one thing MS got right with Vista. I couldn't be bothered skinning XP to look like Vista though - I use the Royale style on my XP box, as I find the default Luna theme quite offensive to my eyes.

Why would anyone want their computer to look like Windows Vista?
