If you’re a Windows user that hasn’t made the upgrade to Windows Vista, that shouldn’t stop you from feeling like you have Windows Vista.

The popular Vista Transformation Pack now has version 7 available for download for free.  CyberNet News lists the following new features:

  • Default system font option for recovery
  • Docking support for preview and taskbar replacement
  • DPI auto-detection in Machine Configuration
  • Hiding menubar option for Vista (Styler) toolbar
  • Information about KB925902 hotfix issues and solution on startup
  • Memory requirements checking for 3rd-party applications
  • Resetting DPI options and some extra information in Machine Configuration
  • Screen resolution auto-detection
  • Setting cleartype font automatically after the transformation
  • Vista transformation “Express mode” (Make an appropriate setup configuration in single page!)
  • ViStart (Vista Start Menu port for Windows XP/2003 with glass UI and search function)
  • Uninstalling existing components before updating
  • WindowBlinds detection warning message (for user who is mistaken about glass border skin)
  • Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 uxtheme patching support

It definitely goes a long way to give Windows XP users the feel of Windows Vista if you can’t afford the upgrade.
