Got my copy of this month's issue today and they had an article about updating XP. For visuals, they suggested WB, but warned that it causes instability in some systems and sometimes corrupts XP icon files. They also said that while there were some good skins for WB available (they didn't mention WinCustomize by name), you could tell they were "done by amateurs" and that most were "downright garish." As an alternative, they suggested readers try the skin from MS which goes with the Media Center edition.
very faint praise indeed...
