I was looking around download.com today and I say some shells and shell
extension programs. I was sort of amazed at the screenshots and though "I
gotta have this...". There was one that was a shell replacement that looked
incredible and said that its used little memory and so on but of course it
costs a fortune :( another one had some great features too like objects you
can add onto it that you can customize and ways to make it looks like a Mac
or XP desktop. Most of them cost money except for a few that were on free
website hosts with versions of 1.0 lol.

I was wondering if anyone had personally tried anything like this try to
include:

-How did you like it
-How did it perform system-wise (was it slow or crashed a lot)
-Features
-Cost and name/url etc..and other info

Thanks. I just need some recommendations so if I actually do choose to try
one that I don't pick the wrong one and screw up my system.

So you can't host things under linux? lol

Well I know your problem, I have it too... AW being the main one... And the lack of a good multi-IM program like Trillian too...
still you should dual-boot to linux sometimes, it's refreshing :)
