Hi
Is there any Linux distribution which is very similar to MS XP look and Feel , Users should get the same interface once the installation is over , without any extra theme or skin
        We could say reactOS is there . but it is not Linux  based

I have to rule out of the option of installing some distribution and then changing the interface .

my plan is that if I can have one such distribution , I could install it without much withdrawal symptoms
            Thanks
                 Joseph John

You can even customize a distro like ubuntu and make it an iso image with RemasterSys.

Is this a trial version?

I can see something similar from their website .

http://www.linux-xp.com/get/#

After a trial period of 30 day's you must register if you want to continue to work with system. You can get the Linux XP Desktop license and coupons on paid technical support in ours Internet-shops.
