Make Windows XP Look Like Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| One thing that bothers me about Windows XP is its appearance. By default, the 
| interface feels very tacky. Since I most frequently use Linux, I've really 
| grown to like the themes and icons that are included in just about every 
| Linux distribution (or at least the ones with Gnome as the default desktop).

Linux That Looks Like Windows: Bad!

,----[ Quote ]
| Conclusion: Linux already has excellent mainstream desktop environments
| which have a unique look and feel which differs from that of Windows.
| That's not a bad thing: Linux doesn't need to look like Windows. If a
| user wants to make their Linux distro look like the OS they left
| behind, that's perfectly fine - all they need to do is install
| xpde or LXP. However, what we cannot do is mimic Windows'
| interface, as that would destroy one of the Linux desktop's
| greatest advantages - its beauty, difference, innovation and
| ease of use.
