Hi
This theme is based on my “VistaVG Ultimate” theme:
http://www.askvg.com/vistavg-ultimate-theme-for-windows-xp/
This theme was created by “deskmundo” who asked for my permission and changed a few resources to make it look-a-like Windows 7.
So the original source of this theme is following:
http://deskmundo.deviantart.com/art/Windows-Seven-M1-VS-2-0-77204673
“Megaleecher” is a kind of warez site which never provides source/credit and post content. So it would be better if you please mention the original link instead of Megaleecher.

I give up!!! Is this Vista or what? Where did you get those picture if Windows 7 not yet relesed? Its simple not fair that Windows 7 be copy of Vista!!!!!!!!
Rich
@me — This theme is just a guess of what Seven will look like. I’m sure it will look different when it is finally released. The Vista UI is good, but far from perfect, so I am sure user feedback will help shape Seven’s UI differently than Vista’s.
What do you think?

Can you install this theme on Vista?
Rich
Brian, you cannot use this on Vista. Someone please correct me if this is not the case.

Let me take the opportunity to clear all doubts.
1. This theme is for Windows XP. You can’t use it in Windows Vista, if you want a Windows 7 theme for Windows Vista, then you can take a look at my following theme which will make Windows Vista look-a-like Windows 7:

2. Windows 7 is under testing and currently has similar look of Vista, thats why all Windows 7 theme will look similar to Vista. Windows 7 will have a different look when it’ll come to RTM, so stay tuned and I’ll update my themes to match Windows 7 look.

Thanks Vishal.
observer, this is a fair scan result because this themes changes system files.
It is a good idea to perform a system restore before any major change like this, but this theme is safe — if you make a backup first
