Sure, if someone has a question, ask, and I will test it on my side, though I'm working 14 hours today and next two days I will still be able to test it for 2 hours, so nothing should be a problem.

I will post few screenshots about the theme thing also Alkaiser.

Also, if someone is curios does some program work or not, I can test it since first I'm testing it a little then I'm going to do a clean install later.

Guys, I understand. I, too, agree that XP SP 2 or 3 was very, very good in its time, but I have just two words for you: security updates. If those words still don't make you want to upgrade then nothing will.

Regarding windows... I don't really like it. I mostly use it because I have to. D2 could very likely run fine on a linux distro under wine, better than on win8 probably, but I still need windows for an arcane piece of software that lets me use my phone camera as a webcam on skype.

Fortunately I have no reason to use shitty win only products like office. Not that office is a shitty product per se, it's pretty good in its category. It's just that that category (WYSIWYG-but-only-if-using-the-same-exact-version-of-the-software-and-only-on-screens-with-the-right-resolutions-and-only-if-I-feel-like-it document editor) is completely useless. You want to produce professional grade documents / papers that follow typography rules by default? You use a TeX derivative.

Besides, I like setting up a linux machine and seeing it only takes ~50MiB of RAM for the whole thing to run.

Sorry about this, I'm bored, slightly sleep-deprived and wanted to write something.

Tested Diablo.

D2SE w/ Glide on TSW works fine.
D2SE w/ D2MultiRes & PlugY & BorderlessGaming on SP works fine as well.

Make sure Game.exe runs in XP SP3 mode or it won't start though.

@Alkaiser

No screenshots yet, was too tired to do anything, got from work, took sth to eat and after that sleep time.

It seems that there is only "aero" on taskbar and on start, on "explorer" there isn't any aero affect.

Anyway, today I should test diablo II, I'm curios will I have any problem or not with it like some other users.

Yes. There is no denying updates. But you can choose a time it updates so it doesn't do it randomly.

There is also an option to defer updates, but those important, critical will still be updated I think.
