Smile Re: Vixta: the Linux that looks like Vista!!

these are all customization..it can look like a Mac with similar functionalities(look for some mac lookalike like mac4lin by infradude).that is where Open Source exails.you can do whatever with ur GNU/Linux distro.
where as u need 3rd party things in windows or even be careful of that may be EULA limits that too.

Corrupted ISO? U hgetting it from torrent or HTTP?

And just thinking why these double standards?

When MS copies some effects and icons from OSX they become chor and devil incarnate and whatever.
When Linux picks up the entire face of Vista, people call it a great job!
