Version: XP Icons 2.0
Pros: for a while you might be excited to see windows 98 turn into win xp in a minute. makes pc looks like xp when its not and your brother says "hey where did you get the money for a new windows xp? dont tell me you downloaded one of those warez over the internet again!"
Cons: you'll say : "nah... its not xp. its just icons. i'm about to uninstall it coz it crashed the system, uses quite a memory (10mb or more after installation), and it expires in 21 days (why not 30?) so ill just go to the nearest internet cafe to look at win xp for 21 days."

Version: XP Icons 2.0
Pros: Got a lesson in style appreciation!!
Cons: After downloading and installing to see if I too could have the XP feel on a machine far too old and slow to run XP.(running 98SE)
The novelty wore off literally in seconds. The only part of the XP experience you are getting are the icons(it does exactly what it says)and for me now it seems obvious that XP icons were designed to be appealing in the XP package and not designed foe 98.Simply, I prefer my 98 icons in my 98.
I uninstalled from the START menu as instructed yet the software kicks in at startup asking if I want to register and then settles in to the task tray until I close it. I have lost various icons including My Computer and Media files which are replaced by the windows "no associated application" icon.RUBBISH
