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.

Steve Mallett is the founder and managing editor of OSDir.com (Open Source Directory), and does a bunch of other stuff.
