XP to Vista customization
- Thread starter eits

You can hack the themes.dll file, and then I think it's called "Luna"; it's the best I've found and doesn't use any resources. Get version 5 of Luna if you can. It might be called "Luma". 
i have a netbook... 1 gb ram. installing vista isn't advised and i highly doubt installing w7 rc1 would be a good idea either.

Don't put anything important on the netbook until you've thoroughly tested it. I would give W7 RC a test drive first.

I would install Windows 7 RC way before I would install that crazy transformation pack. Even Ubuntu would be better. If you don't like how XP looks, there are the theme customizations I told you about, or else I would just use a different OS. If you're relying on 3rd party software to make it look like something it's going to eat up resources unnecessarily.
TBH Windows 7 and XP perform about the same. The only reason to get 7 is because you're so sick of XP at this point really. Until there are things that only Windows 7 will run, XP is just fine and people can save their money IMO. The beta is fun because it's free, but I doubt I would ever buy Windows 7. Linux is good enough to run as a daily OS, and XP can do the job for compatibility.
