Windows XP

this may be old news but does any one else here hate the way windows xp looks?

I hate how every thing is big and bulky, it's like using one of those phones for old people where the buttons are realy big. They should have kept the 95-98 design.

but I guess it's not hat much trouble to change it back to classic windows, but I don' like how when you save your desktop theme it doesn't save exactly how the desktop was.

(I know it says 98 plus on my name, but at school I use a comp with xp that resets it's self)

Most don't reset themselves, your school probably has software running that won't let you change anything to prevent viruses and whatnot.

Also there are LOTS of ways to change the way XP looks...shells, stylexp, and just the basic settings to change appearance.
