I've also been using the Vista Bricopac. It's the best Vista shell enhancement that I've seen yet.

I haven't found anything that does this very well, but I did find a Samurize config that mimicks the Aero interface pretty well. It has drawbacks though, as the window isn't resizable, and there aren't any mouseover effects :(

Some screen shots if anyone is interested:

Does the theme include Windows icons, like the desktop stuff and drive icons?

Wow, that's a great opinion, despite the total lack of punctuation. Really, though, I think I hear your *nix shell calling you!
