I used to have that, and thought it looked waay better than the standard xp, although i got rid of it as it seemed to use up soo much memory and slowed down my computer a lot!

wow really, i never had any problems since it replaces all system files instead of loading up a program like litestep or windowsblinds.. that may be due to your system setup up.. ram, cpu, video drivers, softwares you have running..

additional software? if you want the whole "vista" look, you will have to for stuff like vista's new gadget side panel.. but other than that, no.

in icon wise?
it comes with its own uninstaller and its also available in add/remove.
as for as the icons.. you will probable have to go into windows "display" and reset your themes, then reset your icons.. for example, if the my computer icon on the desktop is still the vista icon, delete it, go into start menu properties, and refresh it.. in other words, make it show on the start menu, the right click it, check "show on desktop" and it should load windows default icon.. or u can just right click it and change the icon.
