Vista Transformation Pack 8 makes Windows XP look even more like Vista
We first looked at Vista Transformation Pack last year when the utility was still in its infancy. But now it's all grown up, and this week version 8 was released with a bunch of features that make XP look even more like Vista:
- Added TrueTransparency 0.8.5 to bring Aero glass-like transparency effects
- Added WinFlip 0.42 to emulate Vista Flip3D
- Added CPU speed to welcome center
- Updated Vista Sidebar to version 2.3 Lite

I tried out the Vista Transformation Pack ver 8 and it does have some problems, mostly the WinFlip on boot up. It will notify me that that 3D video is not available. But if I click on the Winflip.exe within Winflip folder, it runs just fine. Also the sidebar works best if you run it from the Taskbar or menu. Turn it on AFTER boot up. I had so much trouble with other elements, such as the fancy Vista Menu that I uninstalled the whole thing, then re-installed version 6 selecting out undesirable elements. Ver 8 uninstalled leaves behind elements that it placed in such as Transparency, Winflip, Sidebar Winorb, etc and is useable in the old ver 6

hey guys, this is false, it's what comes with vista but all separated, so it CLEARLY slows down your computer, I used it for a week and uninstalled it because my computer just didnt work! (I have a Pentium 4 2.40 GHz 512 RAM) So i'ts not necessary at all, don't make the same mistake than me and avoid these things. If you want your computer to look like vista buy vista. Besides, XP themes are nice. That's what I think

If this crashes people just load the .exe file in safe mode works a treat!!
