This.  I have it on all of my Win7 machines and VMs.  My work desktop, at
first glance, doesn't look too different from the way I used to have Win2K
set up way back when.  I've never cared much for either Luna or Aero; about
the only "eye candy" options I leave enabled are "smooth edges of screen
fonts," "show window contents while dragging" (thought that was kinda neat
when I first saw it on a NeXTcube back in '89 or '90), and "show thumbnails
instead of icons."
