Wish there would be more to choose from. Would not have been asked too much to include some more themes in SP2...

What is XP Classic? I have mine set to look like Win2k! No Telletubby screens for me...

By XP Classic teknoT42 actually meant "Windows Classic". It's the windows 2000 style you use, kjarrett.

Changing to windows classic style is like the 3rd thing I did after a fresh SP2 iinstall. Never readlly a fan of the XP cartoon style :D

I have turned off most if not all bells and whistles so it almost looks like NT 3.51.
Call me old fashioned if you like...

The only thing I do like is the QuickLaunch tray, which is on my system is flooded :-)

I do. :P

I've had enough of the same old design over and over again for ten years, for me XP wasn't change enough. I actually like OSXs appearance.
From my point of view it's high time to fundamentally change the way we look at the desktop metaphor. There's ideas abound (stacks from Apple, Scopeware, and many other ideas), but none really in a working stage...

On the other hand I can understand the old school crowd, there's a lot of functionality in there, too, and it's got style. 8)
