where can i get a non expiring free copy.

There is no free copy. You can download the trial version, and then purchase it if you want to continue to use it. It's only $20 and it's a great investment.

if you want the Windows Aero theme, bad news. it's not possible untill some pirate extracts the explorer vista file and puts it in XP so in other words. it's not just the theme that makes Aero look transparent its a file written into the coding of vista itself.

Sorry to dissappoint you.

i do not condone the use of pirated software, however i have found A LOT of interesting things on bitcomet

I use window blinds myself, i just got it not too long ago along with some of stardocks other products (google stardock)

Personally i love it, it makes your windows xp change completly, icons, themes, seems like so many endless possibilites.

There was another program Adeve or soemthing like that which uses widgets and such.

I havn't really found out too much information about that though
