Download: Get Vista’s Flip-3D Effect on XP
25 Sep
Posted by Alex as Computers, Downloads, Windows Tips
I won’t take it against anyone if he has decided to stand firm with Windows XP. Nearly four months into Windows Vista and I have yet to find a really good reason to convince someone to shift. Well, probably it’s because I’m running on Home Basic which really doesn’t have much to offer.
I’d have to admit that one of the draws of Vista is the Aero interface and the amazing Flip-3D effect. Windows XP’s look definitely looks lame compared to Aero. But who says that you have to shell out big bucks just to get that smooth window effects that the Mac has been sporting a long time ago.
Here’s Shock Aero, a Flip-3D effect simulator that you can use in Windows XP. Installing Shock Aero assigns the Alt-Tab command (which, unfortunately, is non-customizable) to initiate the Flip-3D effect mimicking the same effect that you have in Windows Vista. While doesn’t offer anything more than just that, a portable version makes it a worthwhile download.

1It’s actually WinKey + Tab, but thanks for the nifty tool! I refuse to upgrade to Vista.

15hey folks! i already used it and it really works! wow… nice one.. but it’s actually win+tab..
if you want to make your xp look like vista then, download vista transformation pack 7 or 8.. it’s really good. sorry but i don’t want to shift to vista. xp is more reliable. c yah!
