Yeah, if you invest countless hours, you can get XP to look just like 2000

Getting to look 99% like 2000 is easy - just select the Windows "Classic" theme. My XP machine at home looks just like my 2000 machine at work. I have no idea why it is installed with the Tellytubby scheme as standard, let alone why ex-98/2000 users don't immediately change it!

It boots very fast, though I had to do a clean install for it to be any good, however it hadn't been reinstalled for over 5 years anyway and was a Windows 95 "v1" install.
