TYCUS ...the issue ALWAYS with OS Ports is that one will [hopefully] always look like another.
It's the nature of the beast.
Determining whose is a 'copy' of what is next to meaningless as ALL are 'copies' of the ORIGINAL....one way or another....
The_Muggar ...since the OWNER of the actual copyright to 'Kol's work' requested he [Kol] remove any and all public access to that skin you are unwittingly/unlawfully providing means of distribution [via links] to that which you have no right/s.
Wincustomize.com will continue to abide by Microsoft's request/s until such time as this situation changes to the contrary...

Hopefully, we are some screeners, trying to make original shots with OLD XP
but Vista looking SS are each day more and more...It's funny but it seems that the only word "Vista" in the title makes downloads becoming mad .
A pity for originality...

I laugh when I see that - just name it Vista and everyone wants it - no matter what it is.

the double standard by allowing this skin to exist is laughable. obviously there is a reason microsoft requested Kol's work to come down...one would think that the same set of circumstances exist here. just because microsoft hasn't said anything about this item, doesn't make it right. allowing it to exist is setting a piss-poor example for everyone else.
here we go folks, lets make it okay to steal...ummm...i mean "port" everyone's work

It has always been acceptable to 'port' an OS to an alternate 'skin', whether it be to Windowblinds, or Winamp, whatever.
This has been the case a long time before Vista, XP, OR Whistler for that matter.
They [ports] are regarded as fair-game until such time as the Owner of the OS determines to the contrary.
THAT has happened exactly TWICE in skinning's history. The first was at skinz.org regarding a Windowblind which provided the 'look' of OSX over half a decade ago, and the second was this year, initially ONLY here [inequitably] and was specifically Kol's skin [port] of Microsoft's Vista.
Since then there has been no communication/concern in any form in reference to any OTHER Vista 'version'. This silence is therefore taken as acceptance of their public distribution [in much the same way as that 'modded' [hacked] dll circumventing digital signing of styles is met with silence/indifference].
If and when Wincustomize.com is contacted [by Microsoft] with requests for the removal of these new 'ports', AND these requests are universally applied/communicated to all the public skinning sites without favour they will be promptly complied with....

The vista skins for one
Slows my computer and freezes it
Doesn't show transparency in the thingy.......the place where text is like on top of the folder.
And the glow effect on the "x" to close the window is off............way off.
I didn't even bother with this rip as well.

| just name it Vista and everyone wants it |
AND... it doesn't even have to have much in common with Vista.
or.. give it an Aero name and not have a single Aero detail in it.
