Windows 7 gets transformed into Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
GOOGLE ANDROID fans will be pleased to know they can now overhaul the look of Windows 7 to match their favoured mobile phone operating system (OS).
Flickr user "9davidandreas" has posted a picture of his Android flavour desktop modification. The machine is still running Windows behind the scenes but has the look of Google's Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) user interface.
The adaptation is made up of lots of different parts rather than just installing one piece of software. Thanks to Lifehacker, all of the components are easily downloadable so you can actually pick and choose the bits you do and don't want.
A good place to start is the desktop wallpaper, which can be found at Wallbase. Next you'll want a new theme for Windows 7 called Appows 2010 from Deviantart. The ICS icons are a must have from Droidpirate and can be added to the dock seen in the screenshot from Rocketdock.
Android ICS has a new font called Roboto, which you can get from Fontquirrel, another must have for the look.
The remainder of the look comes courtesy of Rainmeter, a system monitor and configuration tool. Adding the Minimal Bar, Lexis and Simplesentencethree skins to this gets you the time, date, weather and music sections looking like Android widgets.
Last but not least is the Google search bar, which surely has to feature in a proper recreation of the Android 4.0 ICS interface. µ

Thanks =D (I don't speak english, sorry for my bad lenguage)
Does it come with all the Linux security holes too?
Man oh man the internet is an f'in hostile "place". What is wrong with you people? Lighten up! So someone spent time doing something useless but kinda fun... why does that bother you so much?
Now, I am off to a forum to ask a newbie question and get told to go to hell...
IF YOU LISTEN TO AQUA THEN YOU ARE CLEARLY A BARBIE GIRL WHAM-LOVER.
WHICH APP CAN WAKE YOU UP BEFORE YOU GO-GO?
but waste of time.http://bit.ly/yadeG7
Instead of simply changing the visuals a better approach would be to get a bootloader. That way you can boot to the OS of choice.
For example an ASUS Transformer Prime can boot up in Android 4.0 or Tablet Windows 7 as needed by a simple menu at the boot screen.
Who in hell will want to transform a Windows 7 machine to Android ICS? Only a retard do that.
