This is my very stable customized work laptop running windows xp. I use only lightweight customizations since it's a 1ghz 1gbyte RAM laptop. I've had 30+ days uptime using hibernate. Lotus Notes, grrr, is the only thing that seems to crash it. Explorer crashes maybe 2x a year. I've had over 30 programs running at once using the virt-dimension desktop pager. I recommend highly.
Breakdown: --------------------------- windows xp themes service turned off (performance better) 3dcc greenish blue theme from 3Dcc Color Pack v1.0 gkrellm monitor with 4D_Ladies theme Virtual Dimension Pager (http://virt-dimension.sourceforge.net/) Start Menu auto-hide No Desktop Icons (I use Start->Run ONLY, actually WIN+R shortcut ONLY) Desktop Bg is Keyboard_by_derfs from deviant art Cywgin rxvt terminal emulators - bash - some backgrounds from Eterm - Angelina Jolie and Fireangel terminal bg's from Deviant Art - tixus font (converted from linux pcf.gz font to .fon)
I wrote a visual basic script that selects a terminal background at random and starts rxvt with it. One can also specify terminal backgroud explicitly.
I hate cmd.exe, so I use bash from cygwin with my customized rxvt script.
