Publisher's description of Vista Transformation Pack
The Vista Transformation Pack is for Windows users who want to replicate the look and feel of Windows Vista on their Windows XP or Windows 2003 systems. After using this desktop enhancement to modify your Windows interface to look like Windows Vista Ultimate, no one will notice you're using the same old Windows XP (or 2003) operating system.
Version 8.0.1 includes the ability to save transforming information for later uses and unattended transformation and to detect the targeted machine and give suggested setup configuration; some transformation procedures refinements you should look at like preconfigure on first run; removed obsolete dialogs and MSN skin; and other improvements.

Version: Vista Transformation Pack 8.0.1
Pros: Enjoyed the vivid, visual GUI. Also, liked the slick and sharp icons.
Cons: Sadly, this software is resource leeching and infested with spyware. Prove me wrong if you may. The program was skeptical at first, because it was from a Mr. X... of course X always sounds untrustworthy. At least have a valid name like... Javacool... or AVG. Pskill application was installed in the system 32 folder, which was a spyware. Unfortunately, my software (AVG and Superantispyware) did not detect it. In addition, from Google research, the Thoosje sidebar is a malware infested taskbar with a dialer attached. I also personally find it... leaching off my RAM and found unnecessary start-ups programs. Stay away. Use at your own Risk. PS. McAfee detected as Red site in SiteAdvisor.

Version: Vista Transformation Pack 8.0.1
"Fully featured, but still needs work"
Pros: It's very accurate, replicating the look of vista. It works even on lower-end machines (i'm running a 1.4 ghz AMD 1600 XP and it's fine). It's free.
Cons: It's still a bit buggy. (no system errors or malicious programs, though.) Not all of Vista's Aero features are implemented. Wouldn't recomend unless you have a healthy graphics card. (which i don't, but it works nonetheless.) Anti-Virus software may "falsely" detect files in package (pskill.exe.) Don't install Thoosje Sidebar though, since it DOES have spyware.

Version: Vista Transformation Pack 8.0.1
"Does an awesome job of transforming XP to immulate Vista."
Pros: Overall a good tool for changing the look and feel of XP.
Cons: Needs further development and a trustworthy sidebar. I do not recommend the Thoosje sidebar included!
