    Overall Evaluation: Excited and started using vista transformation pack gladly. Apparantley it was very good looking and impressive, even though it was taking bit more time for the system to get started. But within couple of weeks the following problem arised. As the system has windows xp, the user has to enter the password to login. Once the user did this, the system was behaving as if it was going to start, but (within 2 minutes) it was showing the password screen again. I think this is because of this transformation pack. I request you all please let me know the solution, if you can think of one. Thank you all.

    Strengths: The look and feel of Vista! The install was a breeze, although the warnings were scary. The Aero Glass transparencies look just like Vista.

    Weaknesses: The only weakness is having to wait for it to "build Vista Icons" at start up and having to click OK before the desktop loads each time.

    Overall Evaluation: I recommend this program for those that are not ready or are unable to upgrade to Vista. A very good program. Download the installation file from the author's website.

    Strengths: Looks and feels like Vista. Downloaded fairly easy. No trouble installing the program.

    Weaknesses: You may have a problem checking the boxes in the initial setup.

    Overall Evaluation: Overall the program gives the XP machine the look and feel of Vista. The Aero thumbnails and the dock setup work perfectly. My Campaq Presario had no problems with the Transformation Pack.

    Strengths: Beautiful UI with several strong feature enhancements. No ridiculeous hardware requirements or broken drivers/software, and especially no DRM issues.

    Weaknesses: Installation choices could be better explained. You presented with a multitude of choices to check off. If you're not sure, better to halt installation until you know what options to check off. Side bar is handy but included gadgets seem somewhat less stable that the rest of the UI. RSS reader has problems updating and I generally have to reset preferences on a restart. May be a wrong checkbox from intallation

    Overall Evaluation: Love the look and utility. Got off the bleeding edge two years ago. Moderately fast, stable system is more important to me, but I like to tweek. Vista while pretty would have required a $500 hadware upgrade plus the cost of Vista. Too many issues and unknowns at this time. The Transform pack gives me 90% of the functionality and appearance plus 100% of the speed and stability of my XP Pro installation. Highly recommend.

    Strengths: It looks like Vista and has some of the things in the OS. The mouse pointers look great. The icons are Vista like as well.

    Weaknesses: It can be a change that you won't be able to return to normal XP with out system recovery. Not all of the side bar's icons are working. The windows aren't transparent. The start bar has icons in it. The boot screen look really bad anf fake.

    Overall Evaluation: If you wan't a look a like of Vista and aren't planning to upgrade this is perfect for you. If you only want to keep it for a week or just for the looks don't try it. Vista comes out January 30 and I'm waiting for Vista to be mailed to me. This is nice but XP doesn't have as many problems and is less of a problem to use.

    Strengths: Download and install went fine for me I don't know what everyone is complaining about.

    Weaknesses: Programmer needs to spell check. To many warnings that you may mess up your I understand one warning but they make it scarier then it really is. True computer techs don't mind doing a full format and reinstall. I didn't really care for the gadget stuff that came up, but that's because I already use Yahoo Widgets.

    Overall Evaluation: I like the look of the tool and the folders, and my Icons seem crisp. I like the way the My Computer folder looks inside. This is why I love to install new linux distros so I can look at something different for awhile.

    Strengths: beautiful. like the whirly when working rather than the hourglass.

    Weaknesses: none so far

    Overall Evaluation: Find it attractive. Also find that my pc works faster since I installed it. Had problems with initial installation. Had to uninstall and reinstall, but since then no problems. Like the bar at the bottom which shows how much further to bring up page. Very attractive and easy to use. Did not download from pcworld. Got it from site recommended by Kim Komando. check her download section.
