Pimp Your XP

An anonymous reader writes "Ezinearticles.com has up an interesting article on how you can improve Windows XP to mimic and even surpass Vista — at least some of its new features. Several of the suggestions cost money and others are free. From improving the user interface with Stardock to mimicking new security features with open source software such as Sudown, the article discusses many ways that die-hard XP users can enhance their environment without moving to Vista."

    And this is different to Windows how?

    I don't know, you are the big Windoze fan. Why don't you tell me the difference other than the $200/machine cost of software before you can do anything useful. Last time I asked someone, the clipboard did not work at all though various Windoze remote desktops. It may now, it may not. Why should I care when I have one that works without cost?

    So, you have no idea how "Windoze" works. That's surprising, considering how much you enjoy mindlessly bashing it. Hell, when I have something negative to say about Linux - which is not often - at least I speak out of personal knowledge. Might want to try that instead of "last time I asked someone". Makes you look less stupid.

    On the other hand if you're just doing the fsf-told-me-windoze-is-teh-bad thing then never mind.
