XPde is a Linux desktop that looks so frighteningly close to Windows XP I didn't recognize it as other than XP itself.


From the XPde website: "It's a complete desktop environment for Linux on x86. It tries to make easier for Windows XP users to use a Linux box. Nothing more, no clipboard compatibility between Gtk and Qt applications, no emulation of Windows applications, no unification on the widgets of X applications, just a desktop environment."


Well, you just have to see it to believe it. Here come the screenshots.
