XP...dark

Well, XP is finally installed and working. It took a little while to get all the drivers installed and working, especially the wireless, and then to put all the updates on. It definitely feels more responsive and the memory and hard drive footprint is much less than Vista. Also it just feels more...normal. It feels like Vista makes things harder to find with no good reason. The only game I've got on here so far is the Spore Creature Creator, which seems to run a bit better than on Vista with all the graphics options set to high.

I installed Royale Noir, an unreleased version of the Media Centre theme. It looks much better than the default Luna theme.
