Everything is better than Windows.
1) Because they can.
2) Because it makes them feel more comfortable with the NIT.
3) For fun.

Come on, folks. We're talking about a theme--not an operating system. If it feels and looks nicer to someone using it, it's worth making that theme.

I absolutely hate Windows.. but, from looking at the screenshots, the theme looks very pleasant to the eyes and I'd consider it once I got over the initial gag reflex from what it reminds me of. :)

Please keep on working on this--it looks fantastic and I'm sure more folks will appreciate it than will be able to tell you here. :)

Thanks for all the comments guys the reason I released it with so little work done was because I wanted to get a feel for what people thought about it before I put to much time into it. I'm going to keep working on it I'm sure there are some people who wont like it but hey I don't see a lot of people working on or atleast releasing new themes. Also I would say atleast some people liked the old Vista theme since it has been downloaded 50,000 times. I'll let you guys know when I release a new version.

It'd be uber-funny if you could change all the system error dialogs to look like "blue screen" GPF messages!!

Can you replace some of the default icons on the left with XP ones?

That boy's not quite right, is he? :) hehe It would be pretty funny to do all sorts of stuff with dialog and error messages but I would imagine that sort of deep work would be pretty complicated or at least a bit more detailed than he seemed to imply he has time for.

In the meantime, you could always replace the wallpaper background with something nerly as creepy like:

Or any number of other screenshots of the famous blue screen:

Joy. :P heheh

Replacing the icons is one of my plans.
