Here is the 4th modded edition of mine. I was working on it for last 3 months. Finally done it.
enjoy and share your opinion. Dont forget to read notes before installing/asking questions.
Released on December 2008.

Notes:
- Installation will take some more time because of extraction on 20000 small gadget files and thousands of drivers file and its installation. but its worth to wait. ( and its 4 GB of data in wim file ).
- Do NOT INSTALL KB940510 HOTFIX. It will deactivate your windows. This hotfix is not integrated and will show up in your update list.
- It is safe to update your windows. but read above note.
- Use any genuine Activator placed inside "Activators" Directory of your desktop to activate vista.Although none of these activators will work on Dell PC.So If you use a crap Dell PC , then you have to find an activator yourself. Dont ask me about it.
- Use dreamscenes only if you have capable graphics card. also AERO needs dx9.0c capable card to enable glass effects.
