This falls into the “do this if you’re bored” category, but it’s cool nonetheless. Here we have a Vista-like skin running on Windows Mobile, that brings over many elements from Vista such as the proper Start menu, widgets, the tray, and desktop icons. This mostly serves as a program launcher but there are some useful elements as well (such as memory and battery meter, weather window, etc).

For full and detailed instructions, check out the thread at Lakeridge Software. If you want to run this for more than 14 days, you’ll have to pay $15 for the Wisbar Advanced Desktop. Note that it only works on QVGA devices, and should not be attempted by Windows Mobile novices.
