And it can do all its cool effects on intergrated graphics

If you want a black theme then something as simple as Royale Noir may suit your needs more :

No bloatware. No viruses. Simple black theme.

Very nice - simple and clean! Many thanks LancelotSA

Cool. That is what I liked about it to, no need for hacks and other messing around.

I read on google that Win XP Black edition is lighter on your pc than normal XP (Even with the animations). *Will try to find that article again when I can surf the international internet again* And that it launches standard with the latests updates and drivers. (Depending on which version you get).

I tend to "break" my XP beyond repair from time to time... so the fact that XP Black edition can install itself without me having to monitor it by pressing next every 5 min makes it sound worth while.
Then again...perhaps if I just sit down this time, install my legal XP, udate it, tweak it, and then make an image of it, that would be covered as well... hmmmm. *Thinking that i should stop being Lazy*

Ja, just get nLite and set up your installation the way you want it.

Not worth installing somebody else's preferences on your computer.
