Blast from the Past!

StyleXP is commercial software to facilitate changing the appearance of Windows XP. They distribute two editions: Men and Ladies. The Ladies edition includes themes like gucci and pearl. The Men edition has more manly-sounding themes like panther and 521.

‘Cause you wouldn’t want to accidentally use a theme for the wrong sex. It would have cooties.

*StyleXP* may have cooties. It seems to have a reputation for containing spyware. Do a bit of googling re this if you are interested... the whole theme thing seems to be a favorite target for spyware -- I gave up finding a good freeware or shareware theme manager.

Thanks, but I'm not interested and didn't download it. Can't believe people spend money for that... or screensavers... or cellphone ringtones...
