If you really hate Windows but are forced to use it, say at work...

Well I just finished installing the software and at first I didn't do it with ALL the optional software, but to get the FULL experience it requires it, so I reinstalled it with the additional stuff and it all works and looks just fine.

In anycase it sets a restore point (THE ONLY THING IN THE WORLD THAT I PREFER ABOUT WINDOWS OVER THE Mac OS BTW) so it is safe to use it seems.

Hi righthandman,

Very cool OS X-theming of Windows XP!  My one concern for others would be that their corporate PC support folks might then point (perhaps unfairly) to the theming software as the source of subsequent, unrelated problems they may encounter with Windows XP. But if they're cool, or they're their own PC support person, it sure looks easier on the eyes!

With regard to the Windows XP 'restore point' support, I noticed that the well-reviewed OS X backup package, SuperDuper! < http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html > appears to make a similar feature for OS X users, under the name, 'Sandbox' support.

all the best,
...ben
