Windows XP Silver, Blue or Green?

You can set Windows XP Back to the classic boxed-like gray if you want... (like windows 2000)

I was using CustomXP for a totally custom XP look, but it wouldn't work after XP SP2 was installed.

Now I use the silver theme from XP.

Umm thats what you get for installing SP2 -- Bet $10.00 that you lost all restore points before instalation of SP2 and lost your hotfixes.

I'm using Windows XP at the moment (with Windows Classic)

...I was wondering (and asking) about Windows Longhorn

SP2 is well worth installing - And you'll probably find a patch for CustomXP if you look hard enough

Silver for me. my monitor's got a silver frame, so it seemed the logical choice!

Heres mine, my desktops a state at the moment, and i have a new wallpaper every week, usually always from airliners.net - great site.

Current wallpaper isn't my favourite so will change it soon i think. Prefer big jets!

Need to sort my icons out!!

I must admit i do find it interesting to see how many, and which icons people keep on their desktops. I think it says lots about the individuals.

i'm liking those shiny MS Office 2003 icons , unfortunatly i'm stuck with 2002 as it cost's so much to upgrade , but i'll get some day!

 

[KGB-911]

How much is it? i cant remember how much i payed for it.

 

[smclintock]

Amazon are selling it for £336.99 , which is Office Professional 2003 (Excel, Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Publisher, Access)

If you look on the page though you can used version's for as little as £55.99, so i might check out that when i can afford it!

... The £179.99 version (Retail, New & Boxed) seems a great buy.

If your a student, you get it cheap

 

[smclintock]

yeah ... but the licence run's out as soon as finish college / uni

plus the student version doesnt include Access and a few other programs.

i've thought about it in the past , but i'd rather just spend a bit extra and get the professional edition

 

[ChristopherP]

Microsoft don't know when you get out of education!!

 

[smclintock]

it's not really to do with that though, upon validating your licience they ask you for your Student ID , as soon as that expires your licience automatically expire's

if i wasent bothered about the legal side of thing's i would easily get a 'copy' from a friend , but as with all my other software i'd prefer it to be completey legal

I like the classic Windows too.

How do those people with such messy desktops (icons everywhere) ever find what they're looking for?

 

[Reefsmoka]

I have a custom theme called "XP Royale" its like the blue one, but alot shinier. Its an official windows theme, but i forgot where i stumbeled across it. I think it was from a Windows XP Plus pack.

 

[Me__2001]

i have the student version, it has a license for three computers and you dont enter any information it validates itself
