Title: Windows 7 Transformation Pack for Windows XP
Post by: javajolt on February 28, 2009, 06:53:29 PM

Maybe you are so sold on XP that nothing is going to drag you away from it, but you would like an updated fresher look. You can have a Windows 7 look, but with the OS you have grown to love and cannot part with.

A Transformation Pack can be found here;

Before installing any of these learn this simple word "BACKUP" and you should be good to go.

javajolt you have to admit that if you use that transformation pack you can mess up your xp
it is causing a lot of problems and i know that because a lot of my friends tested it
i personally recommend not using that transformation pack,and instead of that you guys should go win7 if you wait a little for the rc ;)

Mutton dressed as Lamb.  :D ;) :D

Quote

: : There is a debate as to the exact reference of the above phrase. Effectively, there are two camps. The first believes that it is a reference to age - i.e. that it is something much older dressed up as something much younger. The second believes that it relates to quality - i.e. that it is something much poorer dressed up as something much better.

: : I imagine that whichever of these is correct must hark back to the origin of the phrase. Mutton is from an older sheep than a lamb. However, it is also a (some say) poorer quality of meat than lamb.

Although I don't use transformations packs, I saw that and thought there are folks out there that will not move on from XP. I have XP on 1 machine and I watch TV on it.  I now have W7 build 7048 solely on my primary desktop and laptop.  I am sure most know W7 has been designed to be skinable in the very near future.

I still contend I would have paid for W7 the second time I started it.

I did a transformation Xp to W7 some months ago with a 10Y old pc PIII Tualatin Cpu 1400Mhz, 756Ram and it still works fine every day, I've running also a server on it and the looks are great!
