If this guy is from MS, how does he miss that option?
If most of the world wants gigantic images to click on, great - and
I'll probably be in that boat a few decades from now. Until then, can

In XP? Only if you like malware or instability. Give me a complete
choice of window managers: XFce, fluxbox, icewm, fvwm, sawfish,
metacity, enlightenment, kwin, GNUstep, WindowMaker, each having a wide
variety of condition-free themes.
XP can't hold a candle to the configurability of a Linux box.
What a joke.
