For those unfamiliar with the Vista Transformation Pack, it is basically like what the name suggests, a transformation pack for the good old Windows XP so that it will have the look and feel of Windows Vista.
Yes. This is an actual screenshot of an XP system with Vista Transformation Pack 7.0 installed. The download link is at the bottom of this page.Listed below is the changelog in version 7.0 Actually I have version 6 installed, and I have to admit it looks stunning, especially the re-vamped icons. The sidebar in Version 6 worked great too but I removed it for preference over Google Desktop Sidebar as I have many Google applications in use, both on and offline. :)
