hey guys…I dont really think he asked for what your startmenu looked like 😉 Anyway, that screenshot looks like a hybrid between the normal Windows XP default and Silver style (you can see this from comparing Thierro’s and t3h’s startbar) from the looks of it, it’s not a packaged skin Perhaps Microsoft customised it on their own? ---

MS released a different, more glossy theme for the Media Center editions, so you could have that one. I think it is called Royale, but I’m not sure. ---

Wow - that’s 40 MB in size! Doesn’t that mean that your regular Windows environment takes up at least an extra 40 MB of RAM because of the style/icon features?
