At one time, there was actually a fedora based distro that looked almost exactly like real XP. Not sure if it's still around.

Why hasn't anyone asked,"What is it about XP that you like?" and then help the OP setup the distro for that?
OP: This is a fedora forum and fedora is an easy to use distro.
KDE has an appearance similar to XP.
What you need to ask is, "How do I setup my Desktop so that it is similar to an XP Desktop?"

Why? Why would anyone even bother? When the question is

" Which Linux Looks, Feels & Works Same as Windows Xp ? "

The only honest answer is none.

The other thing that comes to mind is that if you like Windows XP so much then just use that.

Guys, you're talking to yourselves here. The OP said what he wanted and did what he wanted back on page 1. It's over, unless he wants to report back on how he liked the distro.

It Should Aslo Have Good Audio, Video Playing & Editing Support.
I guess you can just pick your favorite linux distribution (Fedora or other). . .
and then run xorg.conf with IceWM . . .
http://roscidus.com/desktop/screenshots

"The developers of IceWM are proud of the fact that this lightweight window manager shares
absolutely no code with any other window manager (written completely in C++)."

So really, you would go and want IceWM configured like this ?
