Hi everybody!

Just to share with all of you, the latest Vista Transformation Pack version 8.0.1 is released!!
It's free and very impressive theme transformation software for anybody who still using Win Xp but want their desktop look like vista. Wanna try? Here is the link http://www.windowsxlive.net/?p=1473

:D

LoL! i don't think it can support win vista...:confused:
as i know it only for win xp & server 2003.

anyone here may try install it into win vista (don't blame me if it not working:laugh:)
 
Nice peace of app, I used to use it around 6.0 and 7.0, back when I had XP:)

Yup! Unlike v6.0 & v7.0, this time you no need to buy WindowsBlinds to transform windows into Aero Glass effect. And it's also use 3DFlip (Rendered by WinFlip) featured that enable your windows flip on each others like real Vista effect! http://www.windowsxlive.net/screenshots/vtp/vtp8_flip.jpg

They (Windowsxlive team) also fix some minor bug on previous version. Great Job!
 
thats horrible because window blinds uses so much resources
 
athlonx2 - i think he just said it doesnt need windowblinds anymore
 
Yeah, anyone who has WinXP and wants the look and feel of Vista without the so called Bloatedness should definatly install this. Its really really good.

Just for kicks I tried it out. It gave me an "Unsupported OS detected" error when running the exe. I'm on 64-bit Vista Business.

The idea of this program is to make XP look like Vista and i would of thought vista does look like vista in the 1st place.

I'm aware of that. I knew it probably wouldn't work.. I just tried it for the hell of it. Would of been a good laugh if it did install and change the skin.

P.S. Thanks for the thanks :)
 
yeah i asked as a joke originally.

I've seen people using this mostly on machines that cant run vista - and it makes their slow machines even slower, so i really dont get it...
 
i downloaded it how do i get it to install what do i need?



Just install it in the same way you install other software. Just tick & click 'next'. Leave as

the default setting. Make sure you have enough memory(RAM)~512MB or more .

Any processor, speed about 2.0Ghz or more(dual core is better) and any directx8 or later

version of supported video card (Intel,ATI, or nVidia).




Before installing this software, they recommended you to install

Windows service pack, IE7 & WM Player 11. During the installation, it will ask Where do you

want to apply Vista UI transformation to? You need choose the first choice. Because when

you didn't want this software anymore, you be able to revert back windows system files

back to the original ones. But if you choose the choice 2nd you can't undo it back.





Then, choose the easy way to install it (choose Express Mode). Then it will ask the

component you want to install, tick all options if you want like a 'real vista transformation'.

On the last page click transform button and if they asked for restarting PC, do so.

when i try to open it, it asks me what program to choose.
 
no idea, i just saw it mentioned earlier in the thread.

You mean you can't run the installer? maybe the installer corrupted when downloaded. what size of the downloaded file? the size should be 27.55MB.
 
oh ok i dont have that is it free or do i need to pay for that?

Actually, this version can run independently without WindowsBlind. You need WindowsBlind when you want Aero Glass effect like original Vista but only in older version of this software (like v6.0 & v7.0). WindowsBlind is not freeware.

its a exe file and its asking me to choose a program and i thought because its an exe it would install on its own is there any other place i get this from or send the file to me direct u can pm and ill give u my email so i can get it direct in a workable file
