Any way to get Tortoise Columns in Windows 7 or Vista

Question

I know that Explorer in Vista and Windows 7 no longer supports extensible column views, but is there any way to get those columns in Windows 7 or Vista. I don't mind using an alternate File Explorer, but not knowing things like what TAG or BRANCH I am on is becoming more and more annoying (having recently switched from XP to Windows 7).

I've been using Win7 for a while now and totally forgot about this, nor did I know that Win7 does not support this anymore. – Glyceride

I don't think it's going to be implemented in a foreseeable future. The idea of using a third-party file explorer is not bad but TortoiseSVN is a Windows shell extension and I don't think they'll take the path of writing plugins for alternative file browsers.

The subversion site lists a number of clients. Some of them are GUI tools and implement their own file browsers (for instance, RapidSVN). It can be an alternative and, of course, they don't need to fully replace TortoiseSVN.
