CLASSIC

I've pretty much disabled all the "pretty" features of XP. I don't need flashy, useless, screen/RAM occupying junk.

XP only because two taskbar rows allows for time/date/day in the clock without third part programs.

Otherwise Classic.

I use the XP theme Corona Violet. I use the standard Start menu though.

BTW, when running a full screen application, the theme you use makes no difference on memory usage and processing power, I don't think. The only real heavy things I do while not using a full screen application is encoding, and I'm still plenty fast for that (X2 4800+) even with the XP themes..

Can you really not get a double taskbar with classic?

That would suck :p I like a double on my primary monitor and a single on my secondary monitor :)

XP with OSX theme because I get bored and fiddle around with themes. I've actually been using this OSX theme comfortably for over half a year now, though, so it shows that it's not just a novelty, and can be used practically.

I don't use themes. Classic for the win!
