It's made by the same guy that made the Mac OSX Transformation Pack so i'd be cautious. Loads of ppl have reported problems with it :order:

The Longhorn GUI is very messy and not "smooth work" like OS X!

#57700

I think any body must be very careful when using any ones moded files

I have tried both most notorius mods to change Xp into Os X look a like and both have problems like getting some applications not to install because shell32 is to small or having the icons change ramdomly and so on....

after all they are original files changed to do something they were not desing to do

we think on looks but it has more in to it as memory alocation size and dependencies and other reazons I am sure.

About the longhorn mode I think is less the change on the system since the

changes are not that noticeable if you take the aero style off.

Just an opinion.

Yes, its made by Windows X. Regarding problems with his packs, Ive never had any problem with the MAC OSX transformation pack 2.0. It was excellent. (Y)

Dont know abt the other packs.
