Transform Windows XP and Server 2003 to work like Vista in few minutes and free
The original Longhorn Transformation Pack came as software package by
Windows X to give users a taste of the then newest OS prototype,
Longhorn. This was the stepping-stone for Microsoft into the final
version of the OS, and represented a middle ground between XP and Vista.
It began to introduce features that are now present in Vista such as
Desktop Composition Engine (DCE), Desktop Windows Manager (DWM) and the
sidebar. The public interest in Longhorn catalyzed the creation of the
transformation pack. Out of passion and out of interest for Longhorn,
the transformation pack was created and released with great success.
After the change of gears at Redmond to pursue Windows Vista, the
transformation pack followed suit and renamed itself.
The goal of
the Vista Transformation Pack is to emulate the look, feel and features
of Windows Vista with the highest fidelity possible. With each
successive version, Vista Transformation Pack has strived to improve its
library of authentic Windows Vista elements so that Windows XP users
can also enjoy the new “wow” experience.
Throughout the life of
Vista Transformation Pack, it has garnered acclaim and recognition for
being the best software package in the emulation field.
