Developer Stardock has released WindowBlinds 6 today. It is a utility that allows users to customize the look and feel of Windows by applying "skins" to change the user interface of the OS. WindowBlinds 6 can make Windows XP look virtually identical to Windows Vista (including blurred glass). Thanks to hardware acceleration, a typical XP system dressed to look like Vista will perform faster than Vista still. WindowBlinds 6 also adds full skinning support to Windows Vista, making it the first and only program to support full Windows Vista customization. CNet takes a quick look at this new release.

tbh I think that's a weak defence as regardless of the Window manager running in Linux (for example) a user is locked into their permission settings (exluding those with the root password obviously).
I don't really want to get into a flame-war though as i'm far from a Linux zelot and I don't exactly hate Windows either (though I hate Vista). I just don't particularly rate the home desktop editions of Windows.
