A Macintosh emblem on a PC? Blasphemy! :P
*edit* Congrats on 1000 posts! ;D
I once had a custom XP theme installed that looked like Mac OS X. However, my computer OS crashed a few months later and I had other problems  prior that after setting the theme. I believe my copy might have been infected or something. It looked cool, though.

Normally I use awn, but I've spent some time on my fallback session. :P
Gnome classic ftw?
Spoiler For size=large:
Bottom panel autohides, launchers do in order: switch wm to compiz, switch wm to metacity (faster whee), restart panel
I'd like to modify the workspace switcher a bit, but it's proving pretty difficult and I guess it isn't terrible as it is? Contrast is really intense when there's windows open tho.

An update of my (Windows) desktop (50%); despite having everyone else in my house steer away from the computer I am using, I still don't have Linux installed due to the sheer amount of files that I might lose.

It might as well take hours to back the important files up, and I don't have a blank external HDD. Can't get my folks to buy one either.

Actually, it's one that my parents bought when my brother crashed the one with XP. The other people here are on different computers.

Maybe show them a live-boot and how things work? I imagine one wouldn't stick with the default for long but it can make for a good demonstration :P
Or if it's ubuntu, maybe http://www.ubuntu.com/tour/en .

Well, I could also dual boot, but I'm not sure that I'd have the skill to do so. There's also a blank CD / USB and an external HDD that I'd need.

Ubuntu makes dual-booting a breeze nowadays. :D I use ArchLinux though because hardcore tweaking FTW. :P
