I can't tell one or another since it's taking 10 mins to load the stupid image.

I have cable modem so 10 seconds is more like it, not 10 mins.

I like to use visual styles in XP. I got some good ones from them xp.

They have logins, wall paper, themes and visual styles.

CoolMon is a program for putting system stats on your desktop. I'd like to know what the calendar program he's using is; that would be cool because I frequently forget what day it is. :eek:

I know, that sucks. Why can't they make versions for those of us who run Win2k? Some people just don't want to waste time with an OS that has bloat that they don't need, and bloat that they don't want to spend too much time turning off. :|

Yea, yea, whatever. I don't want XP, but I wouldn't mind having the quad-Xeon system with 6GB of RAM and a 1.5TB SCSI RAID 5 array necessary to get decent performance with the OS.

<div class="rant" id="personal">I guess some people like these supposed "&uuml;ber-elite" desktops with themes and styles up the wazoo, but I've tried it before when I was running XP, and the decrease in performance from enabling the options on an "average" system was just too much to make it worthwhile. Right now, I'm running a basic setup with a plain blue background, no themes or styles, no window animations, and no menu fades or transparency. The only "cool" thing I've got is Coolmon running on my desktop, and (soon to be installed) Rainlendar.</div>
