sure. if you're ready to go through the trouble(?) of customizing the interface yourself to get rid of everything.

I looked into it for a while because I like the idea of a unique interface, but was quite frankly daunted by the amount of tweaking and poorly written documentation involved. Not that I don't think I could have figured it out, but how long would I really be willing to have my machine be down for while I brain it out? Nah.
Has it gotten any easier???

I found that it still has toooo many bugs to keep me interested
sure it looks pretty, but is it usable? I found that it was much more hassle to use than just the normal windows kernel, so I switched back.. plus it kept crashing and you had to reload it and stuff... plus having two monitors buggered up all the existing steps...
