If I recall correctly, this takes you back to the old classic as in
Windows 95/98 and not to Windows XP. And it does not return the icons
to to XP icons either.

I **still** have customers coming in saying nothing works with Vista.
Even though the machines are now sold with SP1. And theyare not happy
that they have to buy a new printer right after they just laid out 50
bucks for ink cartridges for the "not that old" one.

I might try it again when I am ready to redo the laptop again, however
my "Vista Ready" notebook has only 1GB of RAM and that is not enough
for the Vista Premium I got. I fully expect Vista to fail the "Is it
worth the trouble test".
