Actually for personalization I would give XP the marks.
So far most 7 and Vista VS look almost the same as Aero.
Well, the other new functions kind of balance out though.

I like the Royale Theme with a Jaguar (animal) as desktop background - lifted from the wall paper in the Brazilian W7 Theme back - from the MS site.
Here's a W2K3 virtual machine (Host W7 X-64) image using ROYALE NOIR XP theme with a Brazilian Jaguar as desktop pic.
I wish I could replicate the nice grey black curved bars on W7 rather than the rather bland square one.
The W7 taskbar is OK but for me isn't really a MUST HAVE feature -- Id' rather have the old XP power toy Virtual desktops back.

Nice desktop and theme - I used my own photo of my hearing dog, collie-cross (tri-colour) with nice smile... good picture - I usual like collie-type dog breed cos it so soft fur coat and nice cuddle.
UP, Chris. Have you changed your avatars or have they been changed for you?
Uber, yours is less scary but Chris' seems to be in some kind of distress
Windows 7
I used to be a huge fan of XP Pro. When vista came out i tried it and was horrid. Sooo many bugs. Everyone was saying how good vista is but were getting bad performance (Due to the bugs)
I stayed with Pro for years untill i got a laptop with Windows 7 on it. Instantly i took a shine into it and got my self a copy.
I now have Windows 7 Pro x64, so it takes advantage of my dual core processor unlike my 32Bit XP Pro did. Runs alot smoother and a hell of a lot faster.
There was one down side, it took me over 6 hours just to connect the internet to my computer.
In my opinion, most of the people who have bought W7, were using it as a beta and RC, liked it, and bought it. The casual users will get it when they buy a new computer. A friend of mine, who writes books, uses his computer only for writing and listening to DVDs while he writes and he's happily using Windows98 on a ten-year old computer.
