Funny Kite for XP

[McVenco]

Wow, the preview 'website' looks pretty impressive. If it looks and feels the same when being run installed on top of XP it's a pretty neat program.

I think I'll give it a try at home tonight.

am I one of the few (the only one?!?) that runs XP with all the eye-candy cr*p turned off ('classic' view)?

I never liked the 'classic' look of Win95/98/ME (boring grey blocky stuff, even worse than standard WB3.1). But I also don't like the standard (blue) look of XP, so I rather use the built-in silvery theme.

For the rest, the only eye candy on my desktop is the wallpaper that I use (mostly pictures that I took myself on holidays etc). I've turned off all fading/scrolling menus and other 3D-ish crap. But that's mostly because to modern day standards my pc is somewhat slow and lacking in memory (and I prefer using free physical RAM above virtual memory - it's slow enough as it is now).

i think something like that would require too much getting used to for me.

That's just a matter of using it longer. When I first used Linux (I believe a Red Hat distro) I didn't understand much of it either. I'm still no expert, but at least I can find my way around a bit. Same goes for OS X - once you abandon thinking "but in Windows it works like this", it's all pretty logical.

But I guess that's the case with all operating systems, in some way :-)
