XPde: Cloning the XP Interface

Posted by timothy on from the trompe-l'oeil dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Over at XPde.com, a clone of the Windows XP interface is progressing. They aim to copy the XP interface down to every last detail- with exceptions for text that specifically mentions Windows XP or Microsoft. Their project seems to be coming along well, and assuming they meet their goal, nobody can complain about Linux not being enough like XP. Here is the screenshots page." Depends what you like, I suppose ;)

    No, XP just grinds to a slow, numbing halt. Stuff just quits working.

    And the UI itself blows. Not even changing it to "Classic Windows" negates the fact that MS has just made it that much more difficult to accomplish basic system tasks.

    Win2K tries to do the same thing, but at least the Task Manager works halfway decently. I only have to reboot once or twice a week now.
