..... find it funny how people are still designing visual themes for an OS that isn't even out yet.... to be used on an OS that's kinda past it's prime.

Would make more sense to see a theme like that for Vista..... which actually HAS that type of start menu button by default.... and also has Aero.
 
right. Windows 7 isn't out yet and xp is past its prime. Not rocket science :D
 
Thanks everyone. XP is not out yet and there are many people who are still using it. I created this theme after getting big demand for it. :)

so long ms is still using the nt technology, nt file system with the same nt memory constraints there are good reasons to use the more functional designs on an older and stable os, xp, and if vishal's theme gives more functionality as well as the modernized look, those reasons combined with the fact that vista and windows 7 cost money a user isn't willing to spend since their os is fine for their needs

first release os' from ms don't have a real good reputation for stability

I agree though, I hope vishal does the same for a vista makeover too

this is great stuff vishal

I would like to see this for vista as well. Also, Vista SP2 is supposed to be out next month ;)
 
2k? who themes win2k? :O
 
I used to theme win2k. Some of those classic ones looked pretty good ...
 
windows 2000 was a server os! :p
 
no it wasnt, xp is built on win2k pro you think xp is server os?

windows 2000 server - advanced server - datacenter - were all servers, win2k pro was the desktop version
 
windows 2000 wasnt for "home use"

thats the spot windows ME was supposed to fill
 
neither was xp pro but loads of people used that at home, win2k worked fine for me and i had no issue with games, and win me was just total *******s anyway :p
 
Yep, Windows MEwas crap with a capital C :p

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
