Well, it's supposed to be released in late June 2008. However, due to various circumstances, I'm still amazed myself that it could have gone this far to nearly a year gap release from 8.0 to 9.0. However, I didn't sit idlely during these months doing nothing for sure ;)

Vista Transformation Pack 9.0 Keynotes:

New 3rd-party applications
ViSplore - Vista Glass explorer simulator
Vista Drive Icon - adding free space percentage in your drive icon like Vista explorer
Vista Rainbar - Lightweight Vista sidebar based on Rainmeter that even consume less resources than real Vista Sidebar

Improved 3rd-party applications
ViStart - Files indexing for documents search, improved reliability and compatibilities
ViOrb - Improved graphic and reliability (C++ re-written)
TrueTransparency - Improved reliability with improved AeroStyle's glass border
WinFlip - Improved stability and reliablity

New functionalities
Setup personization - Allow customizing Vista experiences upon installation without access to Welcome Center
Windows XP Service Pack 3 compatibilities - Now you can enjoy Vista themes after installation with Windows XP Service Pack 3
x64 compatibilities - More secured x64 installation without getting hurt by incompatibilities

There're also a lot of bug fixes and refinements in the program but let's just keep it simple with these for now. You can experience the rest later by yourself.

First, who is using XP Service Pack 2 to install got an error try to update to Service Pack 3 and Install, Recommended create restore point first.

Second, try don't use "TrueTransparency", because I have problem when using "TT" when open the windows or programs, such as notepad opened and can't do anything first it want minimize first then show up again.

Third, try to don't use "Taskbar Thumbnail" it will let your system slow.

Four, Turn off "ViStart" and "ViOrb" first, because this two program not stable yet.

install went fine, first restart took 8 mins, most stuff crashed, got critical error on some applications mentioned below on another comment,
when LAN gets disconnected windows explorer stops working and i receive the send/dont send microsoft message box, over half my RAM is always in use - Dual core 1.6 rated at 3ghz 1024mg RAM - get the busy mouse circle every few seconds, but when it did work it looked great, but i to will be waiting until a patched version with more stability is released!

As grateful as we all are, VTP 9 just isn't cutting the mustard. Many found too many bugs, albeit we were warned. Uxtheme.dll difficulties in allowing installation from so many, including my self. I would rather wait till VTP 9.1 update. Windows X thanks for you work, but believed too rushed to satisfy those that couldn't wait.

ViOrb consumes half of my CPU usage(P4-3G/1G ram) and crashes explorer constantly. If I kill the process of ViOrb, my taskbar will be deformed like this:

Is there anyway to disable ViOrb and maintain the completeness of taskbar at the same time?

I tried ans was happy with following things

BOOT SKIN
ICONS
THEME


rest still is very buggy

ViSplore = Full of errors and incompatibility{Noth working with Styler}
ViStart = When launched 1st time,its buggy
WinBlinds
Skin = N/A,not there


Rest was awesome

I think its like beta of VTP 9
very buggy rite now
I think VTP 9 needs serious Fixing
Lucifiar earlier informed up tht there are few bugs,so not his mistake

I think lee products are buggy rite now,actually all of them are beta of them so i think when Final Products will be released then this VTP 9 will be Compatible

i downloaded VTP 9 very quicky after release, it took like 35 minutes (way too long for 30mb!!)
but i thought, ohhh well its worth the wait,
i started the instalation, and it all installed but right at the end of the instalation the program crashed. i had to restart, and the boot screen didnt change, but everything else did!
Once loaded i was very disappointed...
the programs caused my computer to lag massively and one after the other the programs started to crash. i stopped all the programs, and just wanted to try Visplore, again i was very disappointed. the minimum requirement for visplore was 512mb of ram, thats wat i have, i ran visplore with nothing running other than Xp itself, and it was awful, it took ages to actually open (much longer than Windows Explorer) and everytime i hover over anything like the exit button etc. and the cursor will freeze for a second or so, i tried simply browsing stuff, very very slow. Dont get me wrong there were some very good parts, and for the future ViSplore could be amazing but it was either way too early to release it or you need to up the minimum requirements.
For anyone with a computer of 512mb of ram or lower, DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!beacause all its done to me is lagged my pc soo much its barely usable.
I hope the uninstalation works ;)

but i can see there is a future for ViSplore and all the other programs included, just work on making them work together well, for now im sticking wiv VTP8...
