Just dresses it up a bit and makes it a bit more personalized. In NO WAY does it negatively affect performance.

Seriously though, I have managed to 'secure' a copy of XP with all service packs and such, with the added bonus that no activation is required. There again, it is supposed to be relatively easy to copy your own activation across.

Reason is, I will be building another 'puter and will have Win 7 on it.
So that I can continue stress free computing, I will be building a tandem unit maxed out for XP.

I use Darkmatter Subspace... and no, I didn't pay for it. Found it on a warez forum for free.

Post some screen shots.

I'd love to see how it looks.

Any issues with it?

Does it work any differently?

Reason I ask is because a long time back I saw an app for the desk top that completely changed how it worked... sadly, I was too afraid of it to try it out.. yeah.. the change was that dramatic.

No issues whatsoever.

It comes with two versions. Light and dark...
