Windows A lot of our readers are still happily using Windows XP - 36% of our users use XP, 12% Vista, and 6% Windows 7. While Windows XP is showing its age in a lot of areas, there is at least something you can do to prettify the operating system at minimal cost. In Windows XP, and to a lesser extent Windows Vista, there are still a lot of old-style icons and graphics that should be updated to more modern variants. There are free tools that do just this (thanks to IStartedSomething).

On a related topic does anyone now how I can theme my locked down XP at work so that it looks like Ubuntu.

OK it would still remain an inferior operating system but at least it wouldn't look so childishly ugly.
