Still looks worse than OSX - by a long shot. This should really be free - its basically fixes/tweaks to Vista, which IMO is a disaster. Its personally cost my father thousands of dollars, and 100+ hrs of his time. I did warn him...

LOL at the floating widgets - its Linux from 20 years ago!

Cool.  Pronounce that Windows 7 will probably run like crap and then show desktop environments that are exceptional resource hogs.  I've used Beryl.  It's fun.  It's neat.  I haven't used it in a year, but when I was running it, there was a HUGE performance hit.  Around the same time RC2 of Vista was made public, guess which ran much much better.  Oh yeah, and Beryl crashed... a lot.  Of course these would be huge issues if Beryl were a Microsoft project, but since they're not they've become a footnote towards the reasons why Windows 7 will fail.

Hell, you call XP visually appealing and then post this?  What exactly are you looking for in an OS?  You're all over the place.
