It slows down the system a bit though.

As a counter argument to this, consider this blog post, called "Living with defaults": http://www.oreillynet.com/mac/blog/2007/10/living_with_defau...

Going by that, even skinning your browser or adding a wallpaper will be called "customization". For people who do not change their computers that often, it is okay to customize to make your screen look prettier. I myself use 2 diff OS on 3 machines regularly, so not much customizations for me :(

Maybe I'm a really odd person, but one of the reasons I use XP and dislike OS X (and ambivalent about Win7) is that I really do like the taskbar and start menu implementations in XP, over and above the equivalent implementations in other OSes.

That, and Windows Explorer, are the main reasons I never moved to Vista.
