Vista's Features on XP

I know many of us still dont find Vista navigation friendly, and I know many of my colleagues still prefer XP over vista. So, here is a link http://lifehacker.com/389735/get-vistas-best-features-in-xp, which tells you how you can get the best of Vista features on your XP machine.

I use Vista and I agree that there was a bit of learning curve to get used to the new vista, but I love it now, more than xp.

Personally, I would try to get these features on my old XP laptop

  1. Better Explorer , it is so much improved on vista
  2. I love task switching atl-tab, and its 3D
  3. Integrated start menu search, IT IS Intelligent, but Iam so used to using SlickRun, I barely use it, except when I dont bookmark them in slickrun, thats when Integrated search comes to play.
  4. Thumbnail previews, its nice.
  5. and last but not least, Renaming of files, you hit F2,name the file , dont put the extension, it just gets it, cool huh!

so get those features on your XP Box.
