Ruin your iPhone with Vista Perfection

Some things are just wrong.

If you enjoy deep, soul-scarring wrongness or if you just like watching the faces of Apple zealots slowly change into horrified gapes you might like to download Vista Perfection for the iPhone.

Once installed on a (jailbroken) phone, Vista Perfection takes the lovingly crafted, intuitive interface we know and love and replaces it with a (frankly spot on) rendition of the Windows Vista Aero interface we, er, don’t love as much.
Seriously, it’s like entering a parallel universe where black is white, right is wrong and Windows is any good at all.

It’s enough to make Steve Jobs cry.

I’ve no idea of the legal status of this.  Skinning is one thing, but this seems to have gone out of its way to accurately ape Vista right down to an authentic-looking loading screen and what are surely ripped off versions of the icons.

I suspect that all it will take for this to bite the dust is a Microsoft lawyer to spot it and fire off a cease & desist letter during his or her lunch break, so get it while it’s hot.  You pervert.
