so by the time you get all these 3rd party apps running in the background to make things duplicate the look of vista, you’ve also duplicated most of the bloat, but none of the under-the-hood improvements?

Minimizing / maximizing windows are just slow enough to notice. The aero effects are nice as are windows explorer & the start menu. It just eats to much RAM and slows it down. I noticed 20MB of RAM being used. I believe it came bundled with the other three apps you have listed above but I never did get the thumbnail previews to show up.</p> I just tried vistamizer on a MSI Wind with 2GB RAM and it does a pretty good job of imitating Vista, albeit pretty slow.
