"Hi. My name is Dave Andrews. And today, I'm going to show you how to make Windows XP look like Windows Vista. What we're going to use to do this is a program called Alien GUI that you can download from Alienware. If you just search the internet for Alien GUI and Alienware, you'll find this program. Let's run the installation. If you receive a security warning, just press "Run". Now, it's launching the theme installation for our Alienware program. Select "I Agree" and "Next". Click "Next", again. Basically, just click "Next" through the entire setup process. It's now installing our new Alienware theme. Once the installation is finished, simply click on "Finish". Now on your desktop, you see a picture of an alien and a program called Alien GUI. Let's run that program. We have, here, several different themes that we can use. Let's select "Invader". Say "Apply". It's asking if we'd like to apply the Invader suite, and we'll say "Yes". As you can see, our desktop has been dramatically changed to look like something closer to Windows Vista. There are many different themes that you can use. It's that easy to change your desktop look. My name is Dave Andrews, and I just showed you how to make Windows XP look like Vista."
