Transformation Pack Notes

Modifying system files and changing system configuration may get reported as malware by some antivirus software.

You need to temporary turn-off antivirus software so that program won't be interfered during installation/uninstallation.

If you feel insecurity with this, you can consider Windows 8 UX Pack as it doesn't involve modifying system files.

Wait so what did you do in the software other than jumble a bunch of other things together?

I'm just wondering if I can just install the individual programs myself or if you add stuff unique to your software.

And it just sounds like bloat that slows down your computer when you can just get Windows 8.

You might not be here for long but I've been developing Longhorn/Vista stuff for XP since coming age of XP customization along with some original software like ViStart/ViGlance but that was removed after Lee minding his own business. I put features/performance in top priority so it won't slow down your system and UX Pack is what you want already being able to choose what to use yourself in handy.

Other than Windows 8 ;)

In fairness, Windows X has been doing this longer than anyone else on here I believe.

Way to confuse

I used your Windows Vista Transformation pack for Windows XP, and I don't know if you've made it faster since then, but I had to wait about a minute for my computer to be usable from login and even then it was a bit laggy.

    • This is a none story - these low volume Chinese models will always get new experimental features first because Apple and Samsung can't produce them in huge volume to meet demand.
    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for Dark Scrolls, Empulse, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final update of June for Nvidia's cloud gaming service GeForce NOW is now available, and it is touting support for six more games. The company is also drawing subscriber attention towards the summer sales kicking off across stores, so they can stock up on more cloud-supported titles. Of course, the Steam Summer Sale is the biggest promotion, which is kicking off later today. "Supported Steam games can be streamed across devices with GeForce NOW, making it easy to buy a game once, keep progress synced and pick up where the gameplay left off on PCs, Macs, handheld devices, phones, TVs and more," says the company. "In other words, the Steam Summer Sale brings the deals; GeForce NOW adds the flexibility." Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active as well. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Dark Scrolls (New release on Steam, available June 22) SAND: Raiders of Sophie (New release on Steam, available June 22) Deer & Boy (New release on Steam, available June 23) EMPULSE (New release on Steam, available June 24) The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (Steam) FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (Steam) With the June expansions coming to an end, Nvidia should be announcing its July GeForce NOW plans next week. Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
