Win2-7 Pack provides an all-in-one solution for transforming your Ubuntu desktop into one very closely mimicking Windows 7 — complete with Windows 7-style taskbar!
Although OS skinning is not to everyone’s taste many people enjoy the novelty of doing it — as can be seen by the popularity of other OS X and Windows transformation packs on gnome-look.org!
The latest version of the transformation pack, 4.8 Beta, has just been made available so what better time to try it out?
What you get (a lot)
