I think I may have posted here before, but...
Jesus Christ. Why don't you compile a gentoo install, it'll load faster than XP, therefore superior?
Because I have a wireless internet connection. Go figure.
Also, anyone with Vista on their laptop deserves their laptop to melt
Lol, so true...
Installing bloat to remove the teletubbies theme? Luna looks crap, and so do all user made themes.
That's where you're wrong - users can be creative too! Anyway, it's not installing bloat, it's patching an antifeature in UXtheme which will actually REMOVE bloat.
If you're thinking of windowblinds - that's still not as much bloat as the win/Vista Aero theme is.
And the 1GB of ram thing for vista was purely for DRM. It only needed 512 max in beta stages.
Plz not to PM me, I don't come here often enough. Email if you need me

There are ALWAYS imperfections on user made themes that put me off. UXtheme doesn't remove bloat at all, it just allows non microsoft registered themes to be used, a simple changing of a file.

Aero isn't bloat at all if your PC doesn't suck. No idea what that comment about DRM means, but from experience 2GB is minimum to enjoy Vista. It's using 800MB of my RAM idle at the moment for example.
