Not the classic theme, the XP blue theme, which is not available. And it doesn't change everything. The start menu, folder layout, and icons/thumbs are still 7.

And the features are named differently, the control panel is a mess of stuff. With all that 'sharing' shit, I haven't even bothered trying to set up basic networking. Then configuring sounds and screen saver, etc etc etc....I figured it out, but I shouldn'tve had to.

I'm keeping in mind Moose's idea of 7 + VM'd XP.


Scifi frauds. SF illuminates.
