Smile Mosaic project: an application that brings Windows 8 Metro UI to Windows 7


Quote:
What Mosaic is?
Mosaic is an application that brings Metro UI to your desktop. It is a set of live widgets that shows some content from the web or from your PC. Some widgets (e.g. people widget, weather widget) have fullscreen extended view called hub.

What Mosaic is not?
Mosaic is not an attempt to fully copy Windows 8 UI.
Of course it uses some ideas from Windows 8, just because we like them and we find it useful, but it doesn't mean anything and could be changed in the future.

Mosaic is in beta stage and can work unstable

System requirements:
- Windows 7
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 (Client Profile enough but full is recommended for future versions)
Get it from here - Mosaic Project

Downloading it. Will post later on how I feel about it.

Why not a release for XP

^^ may be they think XP users are a bit old to use Windows 8 theme.
