Yeap!

It works very very smooth, and doesn't take any significant resources. And it's free.

I download the high definition icons (you need high definition icons because the zoom) from www.iconspedia.com

Just me having some Icon art? =|
I thought people used to do that... I'm scared.

It looks cool, it's just me (and probably most people) perfer lines of icons to be off to the side and to move their mouse up and down them instead of everywhere on the screen. Plus it just feels like a cleaner look to me.

oh and off topic, i'm noticing lots of vista users here. I'm surprised, didn't think vista would have that much pickup with how much people on tech sites complain about it, just an observation

Its rare people buying a PC nowadays without operative system. And nowadays it comes with Vista... And people is lazy to unninstall it...

Well I've seen quite a few opinions where people were delaying a new PC until windows 7 is out. Plus you always here about people purposly downgrading their systems to XP. I'm just surprised to see that people bought new PC's with all the Vista complaints instead of holding on to their old ones.

Heck i'll probably still be using my system til it dies (which it did once, but i know how to replace a PSU) or til its like 7 years old. I tend to run a computer into the ground before i get a new one (my last PC was AMD K6-2 500 with 256MB RAM and 3 HDDs (6Gig, 4gig, 4gig) that a friend built for me and i modified heavily with some parts he would discover laying around)

Me:

1st PC: Pentium S @ 133 Mhz, 32 mb DIM ram, 8 mb on board graphic card...

2nd PC: Pentium 4 2.8 Ghz, 512 mb DDR ram, 64 mb ATI Radeon 8000 series

3rd (Actual and IS a laptop): Conroe Core2Duo @ 2.7 Ghz, 3 Gb DDR3 Ram, 512 mb Nvidia...

This PC will be with me for maybe 6 or 7 more years... I only buy new PC's when mine is already outdated, so I maximize my money...

I could list every computer I've ever owned but it would take forever cuz everytime i would see something slightly newer than my current (usually around 10 years out of date machine) i would get it (usually froma yard sale or a friend.

some examples are my first computer, tandy 100 TX 640KB ram, no HDD, 80286 @ 8 MHz and i upgraded to a IBM PS/2 with a 30meg HDD / 368 @16mhz / and 2 megs extended memory (this was in 1999 lol)Heck, I still remember when i got a windows 95 machine (in 2001) 16meg ram/ 256 HDD / 486 @ 50mhz / it had no CD-ROM drive LOL.
