Any module which even comes close to frontpage slider module I saw this front page slider module, and I was impressed by it, but I see there is no Drupal 7 module and it is payed property now.  

Is there any module which comes close to this one?
Views Slideshow is incredibly configable and I am sure it will cater for that type of display. However is it not an off the shelf product like the wordpress example so dont expect to install it and it just work. 

Instead like much of Drupal it is more like a construction box, complex but hugely powerful.
