I concur with the views of others here. Vista is amazing in terms of graphical artwork and stuff, and that’s the reason behind so many such themes.

@Mr.Byte: You can try PollDaddy or WP Poll plugin

Well the only reason behind it is looks..People like the Vista / IE7 look and not the features. You can even see that Vista themes for Gnome/KDE are popular among GNU/Linux users just because of the looks..

Would like to hear what the users of these themes have to say.. Btw just a suggestion, you could add a poll to this post so that readers(which do not post) can vote..

Same Idea here. There is something that IE don’t have. But the appearance is sure a good one… Firefox is powerful and expansible, yet the appearance is the same all the time… If we can combine both of them together, we will get a great browser which have excellence performance and appearance.

It’s because even though these people have many reasons to dislike IE7 and Vista, appearance is not one of those reasons. Vista is damn pretty, and most people know that.

@Brown Baron, Thats exactly was my view but it has found a shaking recently as Firefox also seems to be facing one or two issues like security and other like IE7 once in a while…

I think that a lot of people like how IE 7 and Vista look but not how they perform. That’s why you see a lot of popular Firefox themes that are IE 7 or Vista inspired.
