Yeah my brother uses Linux and he always showing off to me that he can make his windows bend and effects when opening them etc Or you can dual-boot, Linux (Ubuntu of course) and have XP. I just like windows XP really, it doesn't fuck around, just gives you the basics of a computer lol. However if you have a portion of RAM and a fairly average computer, then I'd suggest modding the shit out of it by getting: Yodm3D Windowblinds WindowFX
