If you downloaded (were emailed) the key while it was available, you should have no trouble until the timeout for all Vista betas.

The new Windows Vista Transformation pack for Windows XP has just been released.

You can now update Vista Transformation Pack without uninstalling and you can even integrate Vista Transformation Pack into Windows setup files. (Still experimental, though but most of them are fine enough to be implemented) This release has a lot of updates from build 5472 so you'll get updated icons and much better visual styles and WindowBlinds skin, with bugs from earlier release fixed. Take a look at the changelog for more details below.

This is the best theme I've ever installed, the best thing about it is that you don't need any thirdparty software like StyleXP or Windowblinds to use it.

I have to start a thread every once in a while which isn't utter drivel

 

Even if it is just pointing you all in the direction of someone elses awesome work.

 

Best download since... VTP4!

Thanks for the heads up Centy. A few nice subtle improvements from v4. I must admit i love this the look and implementation of this pack, i have been using it for ages now and it just gets better.
