You should ask the folks in the Vista groups.

this explanation tells you several things that you can change well beyond

just changing the theme... worth a look.

Don't imagine Vista will be anything like XP. I was tearing my hair out

this weekend with yet another compatibility problem.

 

Basically I was trying to use a DVD+RW formated in a packet incremental

format to transfer some files back and forth (Vista supports Packet

Incremental Format out of the box). Although Vista would read the disks

formatted on the XP machine, it wouldn't write them (and I discovered vice

versa as well).

 

The disks were formatted in UDF (that means "Unified Disk Format" - the

'unified' bit should mean 'all the same'). It transpires that the *Unified*

Disk Format that Vista uses is different to the UDF format that all other

disc utilities use even though they are identified with the same version

number.

I believe that UDF stands for Universal Disk Format.

I don't know just a thought.

Unified. Universal. It still means that they should be the same. They

clearly are not.
