Hey BetaArchive.com, I have found out this transformation pack to make Windows 7 x86 and x64 to look like Windows 8! The download link is below: http://hameddanger.deviantart.com/#/d3dmsky
You can uninstall this in: Control Panel--->Programs and Features----> 8 Skin Pack
Heres a quick screenshot, btw the X, _ and double squares turn the color that they are meant to be when you hover your mouse on them.
Changes shown in the screenshot: *New close, minimize and double square buttons *new sharper outline of the window *Windows 8 Ultimate in the About Windows *new start button

Why bother?
its a customization pack...
I know what it is....
It's pointless.
if you're not into customizing, why are you posting on this topic?
It's quite simple. If you want to run Windows 8, then install it. If you don't stick with Windows 7.
Customising for customising sakes is pointless.
haha we're quoting like a lot... anyway, Windows 8 is still in Alpha stages, and this is not the exact look of Windows 8, its a better (in my opinion) version

Honestly really, if you do not like the subject about customization just do not post about it and move along to the rest of your day. Some opinions saying "It's pointless" even if Windows 8 is in the Alpha stage should be kept to themselves.

Favourite OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1
I'm kind of surprised that I actually like the square Aero effect, but the oversized centered window titles look ugly, I think. Does the breadcrumb bar still function with this installed, since it looks kind of nonexistent from the screenshot?
