		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been asked by a few people who have gone out and bought a cheap laptop from the likes of Curry’s or Comet why they cannot get the ‘fancy look’ on their Vista installations.  On probing deeper into the meaning of ‘fancy look’ I worked out that they were referring to the Aero theme.  Obviously there was no point trying to explain to them that the machine simply did not have the specification that was required to run Aero on Vista, after all, if they had the capacity to understand this, they’d have brought a machine with a much better all round specification in the first place.

The Aero theme is not available in all editions of Windows Vista.  The point I am trying to make here is that it is specifically not available in Vista Home Edition Basic.  If you want the Aero theme, you have to buy a machine with a higher edition installed, a machine with a better spec and of course, a machine with a higher price tag!

It turns out that there is actually a way to activate the Aero theme to run on Vista Home Basic Edition...]]></description>
