Windows XP/Windows Vista

Hey I was wondering, is any software that transforms windows xp into windows
vista illegal?

If you are referring to look and feel, technically in some ways yes,
Microsoft does not support programs that replicate the look and feel of
Windows Vista on say Windows XP since it is copyrighted works. I have not
read anything on the Company agressively going against anyone, since
Company's like StarDock Object Desktop does such kind of software and they
are a Microsoft Gold Partner.

I doubt that there's anything that actually "transforms" XP into Vista
other than an actual Vista upgrade. There are packages that make XP
look like Vista to some extent. I know there's something to implement
the "Flip" task-switcher, and maybe there's something to implement a
facsimile of Aero Glass. AFAIK, these things are perfectly legal.

mess up the interface and under-clock your cpu, remove half your ram,
corrupt your registry and then xp will run as well as vista

It seems like you have already removed your brain. Maybe if you get some
psychological help you just might fit back into society.
