Gnome UI on Windows... Uhh.. why? That is borderline crazy, but I suppose everyone has their own taste. You can't really get Gnome on Windows. KDE however has a .exe installer for windows. Its pretty simple and I use it.

That is not Gnome, its is a custom theme on windows. However it does look gnomish. Its kinda nice.

I know its not GNOME!

Then no, you can use various Gnome applications like pidgin, or write something in GTK, but the gnome interface is not ported to Windows. Geezz...

you could try running portable ubuntu remix goto http://portableubuntu.demonccc.com.ar/ it allows you to run gnome apps etc in Windows. Kinda looks like gnome over windows. Video of it working is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRXLyePm12o

Install KDE and theme it to look like Gnome. Problem solved.
