I'm not big on the bubbly Windows XP look, but the Media Center edition theme is a free download from Microsoft. Basically a slicker Luna theme look called Royale.

I d/l'ed this a few months ago and I love it. Best thing to do, IMO, is to set the size of titlebar text to 9pt (stole the idea from IBM's default configuration of the Luna theme on Thinkpads). No more titlebars taking up 10% of a window's screen space.

I was always fond of Fluxbox myself.

Wow, Royale plus the smaller title bar text makes it look pretty nice. Good finds.

Wow, thanks. I really like this a lot better than XP's default theme.

Got it off a site called stylexp a while ago, can't find the link to it anymore though. It also requires a patched uxtheme.dll to work, but there are some programs out there that can patch it automatically, just google for uxtheme.dll patch.
As for the styles, since I can't find the original link I'll just put em on sploitz:
CoolXP2
CoolXP3

Hey, that link just takes me to some New Zealand wallpaper page. =( Can somebody help me find the MCE theme?

Neo, scroll down. See Royale.zip? That contains the theme's installer.
Interestingly enough, I just downloaded this on another computer, and was shocked to see that MS has released a Genuine Windows plugin for Mozilla-based browsers. MS usually isn't one to recognize the existence of other browsers... perhaps they're warming up to the competition?
/dreams of MS bundling FF with Windows...
