Ok, yes, if you can improve on Windows, all the better, but first you should be as good as Windows. You are getting close in some ways..Windows isn't really the fastest moving target, you don't really have to do much more than NT4 did over 10 years ago, plus a few features from after it like PlugNPlay, built in DVD player, CD/DVD writer, photo management, modern web browsers, wireless, 1394, USB, friendly login, actually Windows 2000 from 9 years ago is a good target, or the slightly better XP from 7 seven years ago... Based on your tip...I was using OpenSuse for a bit..and found how to switch the start menu style, thanks. And then XUbuntu briefly, was disappointed (e.g. a) KDevelop didn't appear on start menu, and b) I couldn't figure out how to add it myself, I can run it ok, I don't depend on start menus really but for it to be so difficult to figure out how to edit the, disappointing), added KDE to it, got the wizard (Kandalf?) that Kubuntu had skipped, chose "Redmond" style/style and boy does it look nice and familiar, seriously. I'm not into eye candy but there is some amazingly positive subtle effects to looking so much like Windows.. - Jay
