Oh, I see.. didn't know that.. and it seems like the guys at nijiura don't know either

just found this... xD maybe some already know about the OS-tans... but if you don't, you can read about them here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS-tan well..... a couple of days ago, someone made a reactos-tan I though it would be funny to share here hehe http://www.nijiura.com/os/niji.php?res=22829 ...

porting features from Vista to XP seems like the new trend hehe.. but there are some very interesting WIP like these: http://www.fromvistatoxp.com/ - they plan to make Vista-only software work in XP (and server 2003) and so far, the sidebar seems to be working fine http://www.windowsxlive.net/?p=635...
