An anonymous reader writes "Ylmf, famous for pirating Windows XP, have
just released a [0]version of Ubuntu that looks just like Windows XP.
Really, really similar. Apparently because Microsoft were cracking down
on the actual Windows XP pirating — though I think they will still suffer
for ripping off the GUI exactly." Of course, if that's the sort of look
you like for your desktop, you need not risk any download cooties or
language barriers; a [1]reader in the Ubuntu Forums suggests this
instructional video for [2]giving Gnome the XP treatment.
