I agree with Bob. Call it too much eye candy if you want. There is no reason
an operating system can't be as visually appealing as it is functional. I
mean, heck, I am amazed every day when I sit in front of my computer, with
the new look. So much so that I bought myself a new, up to date computer,
with a 19" wide screen for it. (At first, I was running an notebook from 3
years ago).
the new system looks sweet, and though others may disagree, as far as I can
see, runs better than XP.
But hey, if it is "too pretty" for you, I can e-mail you DOS. It may just be
ugly enough to fit your tastes. :-)

Hope this helps..
