---Windows Vista and Seven's Wallpapers ( Cuz ME's are ugly) |DONE|
---Maybe putting a sidebar (Is Not very important but if you guys want it i might put it) |DONE|
---Patching ME's and Neptune's Betas Activity Center.

I would love to test this! Maybe if there is a way to slipstream drivers to Windows 9x that can be one of your goals?

I am sorry to ask this, and it's quite offtopic, but...:

Offtopic Comment
Does any of these custom OS:es ever get "finished"? I see a lot of these new projects started, but after a short while they all go silent and dead. Personally I have no interest in these custom OS:es other than see the custom designs the developers apply onto it.
