I justed wanted people to know that bb4win is very nice, very nice indeed. I had to switch to windows temporarily to use my wireless because I couldn't get it to work in linux. I normally use fluxbox, a derivative of Black box, and using bb4win makes using windows almost as nice as using linux. It has a very low overhead and is incredibly easy to install. I suggest you try it.

A shell replacement? How is it better?

IT uses less memory and is a different enviroment. I like it because I am used to the blackbox enviroment. It is totally a matter of personal preference.

What's the memory usage?

My computer is running at 120 megs. It normally runs at 200 with explorer.

Interesting. Do you have other apps running? DX, WB, etc?

Windowblinds. I am counting the megs with nothing running but the basics: antivirus, printer driver, networking (wireless takes a little ram), and windowblinds.
