Is that Windows Vista Beta?
Or is it a theme?

If that’s a theme, then where did you get it from?
clpcomputertips on July 14th, 2010 at 11:43 pm

@CommanderForce7 It is a theme, but I dont know what is is called
CommanderForce7 on July 15th, 2010 at 4:27 pm

@clpcomputertips Oh ok, thanks for the reply.

Windows Vista Beta was like in 2005 or something, that vid is from 2007 I guess, so that has to be a theme LOL.
