Get someone to use it, and then tell them its Linux.

That was very well themed. I'm sure if you do this to some office PC's they would never even know that they are running Linux.

A couple of years back there was one for KDE 3.5 as well, but not this good.

Screenshots will not do it justice, and as anyone who spends more than 5min in the Linux section knows, I loath Windows.

very impressive

 

[LabAnimal]

not bad!, just don't get why any linux fanboy wants to make their os look like windows if they're so anti-Windows!... and secondly, why XP, why not Win7...

carefull, MS might come after you for infringing some obscure patent on their blue xp theme hehel.

 

[MyWorld]

I'm sure there is so Windows 7 themes somewhere, I know there were some Longhorn themes back in the day.

Why do you want to do this? Probably for the challenge?

KDE4's theming is excellent and easy to implement since the v4 release. You can make it look (and probably behave) like anything out there.
