I know I may get flamed for this, but I thought since most of us here probably have a PC (at home or at work), why not post your desktop. It's always interesting to see how Mac users approach XP.

Here' mine:



I added some nice OSX icons and a nice windowblinds theme. Couldn't stand the default XP gui. eewww.

Ugly, I don't do XP. I think there are probably lots of Mac users that don't have XP.

Here's my desktop at work. Don't like windoze so didn't put much effort into customizing.

I got the background picture from PixelGirlPresents.com, in case anyone is interested.

You guys gotta learn how to do thumbnails. Or link to the monster pics. Even on broadband, those are some monsters.

Here is my VPC 6 Windows XP desktop: still work in progress, anyway - exactly like the OS X desktop (could be much better, especially the Dock organisation!)...

Hmm, if you can't beat 'em ...




Here's mine. Almost no eye candy to get more performance. Besides, the less time spent on the dark side, the better.

I had the same idea as randman. the less gui crap it needs to do the faster it will run. I hate VPC with a passion.

Very nice examples and most look so Mac like. I wonder why?
