At a first glance, "Vista Drives" appeared to be another new Windows Vista GUI transformation application. Obviously, I was eager to install it and customize my drives' icons. Actually, this is quite an obsolete application with only one customization feature.
The program only offers a set of icons used for drives customization. You can change the icon of every existing drive on your system and add a capacity bar. When the drives capacity exceeds 80%, the bar would turn red. That's all to it.
Pluses: Drawbacks / flaws: The major drawback is the price compared to the features. One more thing: when we look at
Windows Vista Transformation Pack 5, which is free, the program appears to be quite a good joke.
In conclusion: A very disappointing program: extremely few features at a high price and it's obsolete as well.

Vista Drives Publisher's Description
One of the Vista Operating System features is progress bars in My Computer that show disk space used for each drive and partition. Vista Drives adds this feature to Windows 95 through XP and the ability to change the icons to the new Vista style for all drives including floppy, CD/DVD and removable types. You can see how much space is used at a glance and once it exceeds 80% the bar color will change to red to let you know it's running low
