You are evil it's true but you can post yourself under the Linux lot for this purpose. It's all the same really

If you took the core mechanics of Vista without any of the "hey we can do this" I think it'd make a first step to a really good OS. The problem is the whole closed source. M$ finds you "customising" too much, you know like making it work well and stuff, and they'll sue. Can't have people prooving it can be done or worse still having a look at the direct X stuff so linux can have that too!!!

I do agree though, Linux has that Russian kind of cold war atmosphere to it... ie the technology is good but the interface sucks!
