Go to www.wincustomize.com or www.deviantart.com and search for Windows XP skins.

Hey presto, all your friends will think you've got vista.

Well, it beats paying that ludicrous price.

And having your computer run far slower I'd guess too...

Somewhere there is supposed to be a really accurate Mac OS X skin, would be interesting to use it sometime in order to get used to using macs for when you need to...

Not exactly the same thing, but I've been using Litestep for years. I hate the entire Windows GUI, Start Menu, desktop, all of it. I can have 26 windows running and easily access all of them with this Gnome theme. Plus, keyboard shortcuts to launch all of my most used apps. Most importantly, explorer never crashes on me because I'm not running it.

If all you're getting is the aesthetics, what's the point? Vista looks like garbage.

Better than XP...

I dont care what it looks like as long as it doens't crash :ladysman: or use all the ram *couhg* vista *cough*. I'll stick with XP and FireFox for now :P
