Wireless Modem Router: How to transform Linux to Windows 7

How to transform Linux to Windows 7
Hi,, i am a Linux user since a long time. In last couple of days, i have worked on Windows when i was out of the city. To be frank, i liked Windows 7 userface very much. Fortunately i got some post here on this forum about transforming Windows XP into Windows Vista, Windows Vista to Mac OS, Vista Into Windows 7, etc.. So i guess there may be some way out to transform Linux to Windows 7. Is it there ? If yes, please let , me know how can i transform my Linux to Windows 7 >

Re: How to transform Linux to Windows 7
Well, there is a way you can transform your Linux to windows 7. A transformation pack that is designed by rmtux1345, at KDE-Looks.org can do it for you. It is Vistar 7 Transformation pack for Linux. This transformation pack is for private use only! It was made purely for
educational purposes. It's a proof of concept, showing how flexible is KDE4
and that Windows7 interface is really similar to KDE4. It is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR DAILY USE because it comes with absolutely no support, updates, fixes etc.
You are on your own with all problems concerning this transformation pack.
Tested on fresh Kubuntu Jaunty 9.04. But remember that rmtux1345 provides no support, updates or bug fixes for this transformation pack now.
