I recently came across this http://www.bb4win.org/news.php and I'm pretty sure kde can run on windows to. So anyone out there using an alternate shell on windows?

Funny, I was just playing with them on a friend's computer, using Emerge and Litestep (not at the same time :P)

I'm keeping my eyes on Cario shell (http://www.cairoshell.com/)
but I also wanted to try the already released green gnome (http://sites.google.com/site/greengnomeoe/Screenshots)

I like using Calmira II over Windows 3.1.

On my Windows XP machine at work, I am using (not at the same time) and can recommend all of the following:
Emerge Desktop: http://www.emergedesktop.org/
BBLean: http://bb4win.sourceforge.net/bblean/ (I mainly use this, but version 1.16; I've had problems with 1.17)
Xoblite: http://xoblite.net/
LiteStep: http://www.ls-universe.info/download.php?view.63 or http://www.litestep.net/
SharpE: http://www.sharpe-shell.org/
Shell switcher: http://dx13.co.uk/programs/shellonv3.html use to switch between all of the above (and Windows Explorer) at login

My mom used Talisman for a while. It was pretty cool looking.

Bblean and Litestep are the only two I've used a lot. Bblean is better.
